Biography
Bathing Suits are a four-piece electronic noise-rock band from Leeds, England, comprising Freyja Blevins, George Dickinson, Alex Mulholland and Elise Hughes. The group emerged from Leeds’ DIY party scene, where their first rehearsals took place in the basements used for their homemade club nights.
Their sound combines abrasive guitars, distorted electronics, synths and dance rhythms, drawing on noise rock, post-punk and electronic music. Reviewers have compared their sound to Gilla Band, describing it as a “disco version” of the Irish band, while Model/Actriz have also been cited as a point of reference. Their music balances confrontational textures with club-influenced rhythms and theatrical performance.
