Exploding onto the London music scene this year, proFESSional is a band you won’t forget in a hurry. Featuring the talents of singer Mani, guitarists Rob Hennebry and Paul Fifield, bassist Marco Gaspari and Jonny Brister on drums, this five-piece outfit has quickly made an impact with their bold, swaggering sound.
Blending pop-infused alternative rock with a distinctive British flair, proFESSional is has made an emphatic entrance and they’ve only just begun. The band’s debut came in July with their single “Pizza For Breakfast,” a catchy track that introduced listeners to their energetic style. Full of attitude, punchy rhythm and infectious writing, the debut gave a taste of what proFESSional is capable of; hook-driven music that’s both fun and thought-provoking.
With this first outing, the group staked their claim as one of the most exciting new bands in the UK’s alternative rock scene, blending edgy grooves with a pop-tinged appeal. Now they’re keeping up the momentum with their sophomore single titled “TELEVISION,” released via the Believe imprint.
The new track explores the impact of media consumption and the weight of constant information overload, as Mani explains, “Television lays bare the profound impact of media, and the existential dread channeled directly into our homes. It’s a commentary on the overwhelming, ridiculously disturbing overload of the information we all consume on a daily basis.” The track tackles these serious topics with a fierce energy, driven by driving guitar lines and a pounding drums capped by epic vocal expression.
Flowing from a smooth indie vibe of jangly guitar tones and rolling percussion, the energy hops with distorted tones, commanding vocals and wah-drenched leads to cast a flurry of memorable sonic excitement. Channeling a rousing modern rock and roll sound instilled with a profound lyrical dissection of a troubling modern phenomenon, “TELEVISION” delivers a sound that’s as original as it is enjoyable.
Paired with the single is a music video produced by Franko Flint and featuring Canadian actor Dylan Smith of The Lord of the Rings and Maze Runner fame. Reflecting the raucous energy of the track, the video delivers an engaging dose of high-octane visuals of the band performing the track cut with lively scenes, resulting in a thrilling ride fitting of the hype that’s surrounding this incredible must-watch act on the rise.
