Lebanon Hanover, a Swiss-British post-punk duo, emerged from the bustling streets of Sunderland, England in 2010. The band's sound is a potent blend of icy synth melodies, driving basslines, and Larissa Iceglass's hauntingly beautiful vocals.
Iceglass, a Swiss native, provides the band's signature guitar riffs and vocals, while William Maybelline, a British multi-instrumentalist, anchors the band's sonic landscape with bass, synths, and backing vocals.
Their name, a nod to two neighboring towns in New Hampshire, USA, hints at the band's unique blend of international influences and nostalgic Americana. Signed to Fabrika Records in Greece, the band has released six studio albums, each showcasing their artistic evolution and unwavering dedication to crafting captivating post-punk masterpieces.
From Last.fm to the Stage:
Larissa and William's musical journey began in the online world, where they connected through the music platform Last.fm, trading recommendations for 80s music. Their shared passion for post-punk led to a real-life meeting in Sunderland, and Lebanon Hanover was born.
Their debut performance took place in Berlin's legendary King Kong Club in October 2010, marking the start of their ascent to post-punk prominence. A split EP with La Fete Triste in 2011 caught the attention of Fabrika Records, propelling them to the forefront of the international music scene.
Their debut album, "The World is Getting Colder," dropped in 2012, followed by their second album, "Why Not Just Be Solo," later that same year. These albums cemented Lebanon Hanover's status as a force to be reckoned with in the post-punk revival, captivating audiences worldwide with their haunting melodies and raw emotional intensity.
