Chaos Queen

High Wasted Genes

I Want Attention

ZELA’s bisexuality-flooded new single ‘I Really Like Her’ was inspired by front-woman Liv Griff’s turbulent romance between herself and a girl unavailable, silhouetted against the dirty dancefloors and cigarette-tinged kisses of the Northern Indie music scene. Burning with pop vocal hooks not  dissimilar to the likes of Blondie’s Debbie Harry and driven by a distortion-soaked bassline, Liv maintains her signature bratty approach to songwriting but this time infuses painfully emotive melodies and lyrics guaranteed to immerse you in the British cinematic heartache of friends-to-lovers-to-strangers.

Featuring an explosive performance from brother Max Griff on drums, the track embodies themes of youthful British culture reminiscent of E4’s Skins, features lyrics akin to those of early Arctic Monkeys and explores Liv’s first queer experiences, making ‘I Really Like Her’ the outrageous LGBTQ+ anthem the world needs.

I Really Like Her

"gaslighting isn't real, you're just mental"

Brat-Pop sibling duo ZELA have created a dark and imaginative brand of attitude-laced Alt-Electronic Pop. Think Charli XCX meets Wolf Alice, with a hint of Doja Cat and Yungblud.

Since bursting onto the scene in 2020, ZELA have delivered a string of singles, each exploring complex topics and their own brand of unique Brat-Pop. The duo have received numerous plays on BBC Radio 1, alongside features on Future Artists. In addition to this, ZELA have gained huge support from BBC Introducing, numerous official Spotify playlistings (including New Music Friday, Unleashed, Misfits 2.0, Alt-Pop, New Pop UK etc) and have begun to amass a loyal, dedicated following.

Over the last year, ZELA have begun to make bold moves within the live music scene, quickly establishing themselves as an act not to be missed on a line-up, and featuring their full live band. Dubbed by Radio One’s Jack Saunders as “Nine Inch Nails-meets-Ariana Grande”, their live performance is a supercharged, high-energy experience encapsulating Liv Griff’s magnetic, on-stage persona and Max Griff’s explosive ability on the drum kit.

Having recently shared stages with Bastille, Pale Waves, DMAs, Self Esteem, Blossoms and Holly Humberstone, ZELA have plans to make the rest of 2023 their own, including the follow-up single to 'I Really Like Her', numerous UK festival appearances, their debut EP and a hometown headline show in Newcastle-upon-Tyne.
