After a performance at Maida Vale for the BBC and a string of plays on BBC Radio 1, electrifying alt-pop duo Szou are establishing themselves as one the most exciting bands in recent years. Sitting somewhere between the electro sensibilities of The 1975 and the foot-stomping power rock of The Killers, their lyrics offer a playful perspective on the intricacies of modern life, exploring topics from "hangxiety" to female pleasure. Fusing lush guitar riffs, fizzing synth lines and soulful harmonies, Szou aim to create stadium anthems from their home studio in North London. After meeting through songwriter friend Calum Pearce, Zoe and David started working together in early 2023, driven by a love of pop music. Since then, they have performed in some of London’s most iconic venues such as The Victoria, Camden Assembly, Cafe Koko, The Ned, The Sebright Arms, Nottinghill Arts Club, The Finsbury and Paper Dress Vintage. Szou were named ‘Ones to Watch’ for London in 2023 by Gigwise magazine and have received recognition from Atwood Magazine, 1883, Jodie Bryant, Far Out and on BBC Introducing radio stations. Szou are set to release their debut EP in November of this year and take 2025 by storm.
