BIO

"What now?" echoed the frivolous girls, picking their skin, biting their curls. "What can we do? Where can we go? If we try hide the MOSKITO will know."

MOSKITO are a fever inducing cacophony of dark melodies, mixed with abrasive yet tender sounds. A pair of brothers front the stage, tapping into an infectious chemistry that spearheads a powerful, confident stage presence amongst the quintet.

With their mammoth riffs and haunting melodies, the East Midlands reprobates have continued to prove why they’re a force to be reckoned with. Causing pandemonium during their relatively short time as a band, MOSKITO have received features and plays from industry heavy weights such as Radio 1, Rolling Stone, Rock Sound, Planet Rock, Kerrang!, All Punked Up, BBC Introducing and such like. Following this break through, the bands high energy performances have earned their rightful spots at festivals such as Teddy Rocks, Lumefest, Castfest , Beam Me Up and Badland Festival, dominating any crowd in their sight whilst playing alongside acts such as Feeder, The Enemy, Kid Kapichi, Dream State, Jake Bugg, Snayx, Fizzy blood and many more.

The beginning of 2023 saw the release of the ‘BAD LOVE // MIXTAPE’ featuring the previously released ‘Gone With The Girl Next Door’ and ‘Don’t Touch My Baby’. With these debut tracks being recorded with Thomas Mitchener (Frank Carter & The Rattlesnakes, WARGASM, The Futureheads) the mixtape also featured some new additions in the forms of ‘Miss Me, ‘517’ and ‘Sweet Fruit’ all of which making regular appearances on BBC Radio 1 as well as entering the Kerrang! chart. The Mixtape reached new heights hitting the No.1 album spot on the iTunes Rock Charts in Sweden and earned its rightful spot on major Spotify playlists.

"The mixtape feels like only the start of things to come from MOSKITO."

"What MOSKITO offers here is a sense that there is something bigger and better to come.”

In the same year through their high work ethic, drive and determination, the UK raging indie punk rockers returned with their ‘G.R.I.M’ EP (short for Grief, Remorse Infected Manhood), a more cohesive set of songs with reoccurring tones and stories. The EP itself was written during turbulent times and through brotherhood this chapter only unified them more.

“We have all suffered grief, chaos and mourning and fought our way back as warriors, often losing yourself in your own head during the process. Being lost in your head, partnered with seismic events in our lives, u-turned our creative space to a dark path and unwillingly thrusted us towards the ‘G.R.I.M’ era.” The first single from this release, ’Killing Joke’, is a completely different turn from MOSKITO seeing them enhance dirty Prodigy-esque synth’s with gigantic riffs and lyrics that tell a tale of entrapment with a narcissist. The single explores the “process of planning your escape from the situation you're in, knowing there's always something you can make good from the dark.” The follow up single ‘Thrill Seeker’ is a song in the style of a villainous tale of woe and deceit - showing a day in the life of an unhinged, volatile yet cunning criminal.

Killing Joke received relentless support from BBC Radio 1 and BBC introducing including numerous plays 4 weeks in a row on Kerrang! radio with Alex Baker.
