Solo work from Michael Stevenson of Statement Haircut

Statement Haircut are influenced by electronics, post-punk, funk, dub & pop, and interested in guitars vs. synths and harmonies vs. beatboxes

Press:

Statement Haircut win the Half Man Half Biscuit memorial prize for having my favourite band name in this list. That aside, this London trio are unlikely to be compared to the lads who shook the Wirral. Their bio highlights their eclecticism, noting that they’re influenced by dance, post-punk, funk, dub, and pop.

This disparate mess of genres comes together nicely, because Statement Haircut are essentially a pop band, albeit one that sounds like it might have been left for too long in the tumble dryer. Fans of music that avoids the easy hook and reaches for something interesting will enjoy their recent singles – try Rügen as a starting point.

Satirical hand drawn projections provided the backdrop to their performance, as Darren Reynolds and Michael Stevenson engage in dynamic electro-pop creating a cavalcade of sound of industrial techno, and soaring synths.

Overcoming the not ideal sound, the duo, whose sound is a pleasing, extremely catchy electro-indie, have a congruence and maturity about them that suggests they’re ready to step up a couple of echelons.

Statement Haircut showcased a unique blend of visual art, catchy synths and clever programming. Coupled with the setting of Camp and Furnace - the ideal venue for such an outfit - they kept the audience gripped by fine musicianship.
