Hermosa Pier are an Alt Art Pop band from the West Midlands, UK. The band's unique sound stems from influences from a wide range of genres such as rock, folk, pop, funk, and jazz. Holly (vocals), and Dom (guitar) met while studying music at university in Birmingham, UK. Holly enlisted Dom, and her friend Tom (drums) to play as part of her band for her final university performance - which would be the very first time the band played together. The gig was a success, and after graduating the three musicians went their separate ways. It wasn’t until a year and one Facebook status later, that the band reunited to form Hermosa Pier. The band kicked off their career with the release of their debut single ‘Doing Fine’, a pop/rock tune with a catchy chorus, lively guitar solo, and tight rhythmic foundation, at the start of 2019. In April 2020, the band released their first EP, ‘Words To Myself’, which received a number of positive reviews from critics. “The band will be going places with raw tracks that are certain to turn heads!” - Off The Hook Music Reviews, Hermosa Pier EP Review, 2020 “Hermosa Pier were INCREDIBLE!” - BBC Music Introducing in Hereford & Worcester, Hopfest 2019 Hermosa Pier are continuing to write and release new music, with a number of singles and a second EP in the pipeline for 2021. |
