(A manifestation of divine power) (dark)

When Welsh twins Stewart & Paul Summers (Ten Benson / The Sharp Tongues) started some experimental recordings combining psychedelia, poetry and punk rock, the resulting songs got them thinking…. 

Recruiting old touring comrades Sam Mansbridge  (The Rumblestrips) on bass,  Hanna Edgren (Tits Of Death) on keys and vocals and Gui Rujao  (Los Pepes)  on drums, DaemöniK Fonce were fully formed and some gigs hastily arranged.

Invited to  support bands including  Sea Power &  Jim Jones and the Righteous Mind, the transformation from home studio project to fully fledged jaw dropping live band was complete.

 On the advice of Sean Forbes (Rough Trade) the band debunked to Newport’s West Sounds Studios in South Wales.  Working with Richard Jackson (previous production credits include Gruff Rhys, Dub War, Martin Carr, Future Of The Left) an album soaked with a kaleidoscope of inspirations and imaginations was produced. 

What you hear is a reflection of you, the listener.  This band obviously LOVE MUSIC, LOVE BANDS, LOVE ROCK’N’ROLL ..   Deep thinking with heavy personality pulling in references from Fairport Convention, Sex Pistols, LKJ, JCC, Hawkwind, Buzzcocks  and Magazine.

Debut single “Autumnal Fix”, a psychedelic dual vocal harmony, dropped from the tree 1st September 2021. Adam Walton from BBC Introducing saying they were “Suicide meets ABBA”.

“GAME CHANGER” was released November 2021 and gained support from 6 Music, Radio X and Totally Wired. A two and half minute punk rock romp full of Pistols’esque guitar and a vocal delivery that makes you want to grab a hair brush and shout along.

A Valentines special dropped in February 2022 “My Baby’s The Right Side Of Rough”, a stomping 60’s influenced ode to a womans love for a man born on the wrong side of the tracks.

The  album “Eye Love Daemönik Fonce” was released 1st March 2022 (St Davids day) through Property Of The Lost. BUY IT HERE!

Early 2023 Andrew Prestige became the new D.F. drummer and recorded a double A side single “Rollin’ On / Nancy’s Ranch” to coincide with a full UK tour supporting the Jim Jones Allstars.

Plans are afoot for new album scheduled for early 2024.
