POWERPLANT (uk) / HITMEN (uk) / C.A.M.O

POWERPLANT has come a long way from rocking in the bedroom to playing hard on the world stage. The synth-punk band is based in London, UK and is unmistakable for the sad & hopeful atmosphere the music conjures via catchy goblinesque vocal melodies, wailing synthesisers, giddy bass and the rhythmic march of the drum machines.
The debut synth-punk album ‘People in the Sun’ took the internet by storm in 2019. Created solely by the band leader Theo Zhykharyev, it captivated the world with eccentric bass lines, fuzzy synthesisers and touching lyrics. It landed on ‘Best of…’ lists by Pitchfork and Bandcamp, receiving nods from Iggy Pop and Henry Rollins.
Zhykharyev assembled a band for touring, consisting of the best London’s underground has to offer. Together, they tour the globe relentlessly. They played far and wide on both coasts of the US, Australia, Europe and the UK & shared the stage with international cult rockers like OSees, Show Me The Body, Hotline TNT and Ovlov. Powerplant moves at its own accord, always morphing into something more powerful and mysterious. With each release, Powerplant reinvents itself.
The music making machine has been restarted in full force with return-to-form ‘Crashing Cars’ 7” and ‘Heat’ EP in 2025-It’s never the same, but always 100% Powerplant.
