The Forgein Resort – A mix of dark new-wave & explosive post-punk
Since their formation in Copenhagen back in 2009, The Foreign Resort has dedicated themselves for over a decade to refining a sound that explodes with the raw energy of post-punk and delves into sombre shades of melancholy. Their work stands out for its richness and excitement, embodying moods both light and dark, and imbued with emotional depth with an immediate impact. (post-punk.com)
