London’s Megaflora will release their new mini-album ‘Redwoods’ via Everything Sucks Music on 28th October 2016. Tackling issues such as anxiety and societal and environmental pressures, ‘Redwoods’ is four punks’ take on indie-pop, led by emotive harmonies and wonderfully jangling guitars.

Vocalist/guitarist Max Kinmans ponders on the thematic material of first single ‘We’re Not There’ – “I think social media is great in general but I worry, as someone whose first thought is to avoid a lot of real life social situations, that it makes me disengage from events even more, reliving them afterwards more than living them at the time.”
Megaflora are Christina (Bass), Frank (Drums), Ellen (Vocals/Keyboard) and Max (Vocals/Guitar). As socially gluey as a chatty pritt stick, Christina met Max when they were at uni, Ellen through roller derby, Frank through London punk circles and then she stuck them firmly together. Everyone apart from Max played in a band together already, but Ellen left to go travelling for a while. In the meantime, Max snuck in and subverted their pure punx vibe with his twee indie pop tendencies. Luckily, when Ellen came back she just added to this with some lovely harmonies and keyboard. After years playing in scrappy punk and hardcore bands, they’ve been concentrating on honing their pop writing skills and Megaflora’s latest release is the fruits of their labour so far.
Having already played live with the likes of Sheer Mag and Personal Best, Megaflora will be wielding their punk-fuelled indie pop tendencies at typically DIY shows across the country in the months to come and around release. Stay tuned for dates.
