The Otherness

THE OTHERNESS is a rock band from the deepest end of America.

Martin and Gon started to play music and write songs together since they were kids in Comodoro Rivadavia –the capitol of wind in La Patagonia, Argentina.

Pablo joined them later on drums in Buenos Aires and finally, Nico completed the line-up on lead guitar in Berlin during the pandemic of 2020.

The boys have relentlessly toured in the grassroots circuits of the UK and Europe and have gained significant support from the audiences and rock press all over the regions. This undiluted passion for music also shows in a wide range of multicultural hostels, sick and urgent trains’ connections and all sorts of meal deals that feed human experiences – the ones to be only sorted out as a tight group – in a world of narcissism and indiv (...) Mehr anzeigenidualism here’s a collective of young people that still believes that the whole is greater than the sum of its parts.

HOW? WHY? First of all: ORIGINAL TUNES. Steve Lamacq himself recommends the group among the best new bands to follow on BBC 6 Music.

The Otherness’ music is melodic and edgy, intense and meaningful and they actually play their instruments.
Throughout the experience of playing together, they have honed a very clear style of sweet and punchy tracks.

"Authentic, quality, passionate rock, these guys really mean it."
(Chris Hawkins, BBC 6 Music)

“Weezer alt.rocking to The Beach Boys.”
(Damian Jones, NME)

In October 2021 the band released its 12 track debut album entitled “LMIRL” with great reviews in the UK press and fine radio airplay on Radio Eins, Fritz Radio, SiriusXM, DC101 and US college radios.

“The Otherness’ “Bit of Fun” is Rodney Bingenheimer's personal pic on Little Steven's ‘Coolest Songs in the World’ this week!”

“Hailing from Patagonia their thrilling self-belief and dedication to their craft is hypnotic and now they have the tunes to back it up. The sheer craziness of what they are trying to do – swimming upstream in the 21st century against the flowing river of the pop zeitgeist means that they are probably right – all great culture is born out of defiance and in the end great melody and energy always wins the debate hands down.” (John Robb, LTW)

In 2022 they released “A New Resistance” - a 4 track EP recorded in Berlin, produced in Buenos Aires by Gaspar Benegas and mastered by Felix Davis at Metropolis Studios in London.

The infectious energy of the group comes through with a mix of pop and rock styles of all ages, but with a fresh twist to it. You will find young cultural rebels challenging corruption, reflecting a society fighting for sex equality and also expressing defiant views on gun violence, corporative greed, climate change, bullying, apathy and the complex and beautiful intricacies of this generation.

Now, the boys are currently mixing their sophomore album entitled “Broken Latitudes”.

The material for this upcoming release consists of 16 brand new songs being “This I Tell” one the first singles of the ever-evolving sound of the group.

The Otherness promotes the art of listening to each other – in free ways of interpreting and interacting with everything that is not identical or similar to us.

It is a shift from the self to the other in which we discover a satisfying feeling of happiness where the music is the link between the two.

The Otherness will be releasing more singles with song titles such as “Now’s The Time” and by July 2024 they will announce a tour to support the new material with dates in the Schengen Area of Europe. Weniger anzeigen
