NEON FIELDS
Described as an enigmatic band with a distinct identity, Neon Fields formed in 2020, mere weeks before the start of the global pandemic. Throughout the proceeding lockdowns, Neon Fields pushed the boundaries of rock and electronic music in isolation, sharing music remotely and refining their style. The result was a unique and sophisticated sound that captivated audiences with cinematic soundscapes, industrial tones, and creative narratives.
Based in Southwest UK, Ed Barrett (vocals), Luke Russe (drums) and Piers Ward (keyboards/guitars) draw from a diverse set of influences and seamlessly traverse multiple genres to deliver their brand of electronic rock. Their first EP comprising six tracks received enthusiastic approval from critics and fans. Neon Fields were well deserved runners-up in the Radio Wigwam Best Band category in 2022.
