PRESIDENT ELECT – President Elect are a indie band, mixing rock energy with pop songwriting that results in a distinctive voice, catchy hooks, and off-beat cheekiness. Driven by twin rhythm section Iggy and Zak, and backed by guitarists Vincent and Jude; they capture the nostalgic elements of 80s coming of age movies with the grittiness of 90s and 00s rock.
The band’s different hometowns amalgamate to bring a determined attitude and an eagerness to assert themselves in the London Alternative Music scene. They have rapidly earned a reputation as a tight, dynamic, and sought-after live act, which they use to
showcase their genuine love of performing for crowds and with each other. The band’s drive led them to iconic London studios Abbey Road and RAK Studios to record Debut EP ‘You’ve Got A Lot Of Nerve Believing In Me’ with MPG award winning
producer Tayte Nickols. A collection of 4 varying songs that highlights the band’sunique sound and journey of uncertainty in their early 20s.
The EP has been met with glowing reviews from radio icons such as Guy Garvey, Amy Lame (BBC Radio 6 Music) & John Kennedy (Radio X), while radio rising star William Wolstenholme (BBC Introducing Lancashire and Cumbria) has labelled them as “one of the most exciting bands in the country.” This has been matched with impressive press reviews from Clash, Louder Than War, and Backseat Mafia.
After multiple sold-out shows at iconic London venues (The Social, Old Blue Last, Hope and Anchor), a wildly successful first UK tour, and supports with rising stars such as King Nun & The Rolling People; President Elect are driven to be the name on everybody’s lips in 2024.
