With three of the four singles already out in the wild, strongboi’s latest sound has already acquired much acclaim. The Line of Best Fit described ‘be mine’ as “awash in a distinct old-school sound and punchy pop melodies’ Whilst tmrw magazine described ‘special’ as ‘a stand out example of strongboi's signature playful passion’ they also commented on their ability to ‘captivate audiences all around the world..’

strongboi is a passion fueled project of long time friends & collaborators Alice & Ziv. Driven by a playful energy that lights up their live shows, the band pull out all the stops when performing. Originally this began with a super lo-fi vision of using mainly casio keyboards & toys, but today they have filled out and evolved as a full band project which lit up Village Underground at their sold out London show back in March. This dynamic setup also earned them the Anchor Award for Best Newcomer at Reeperbahn Festival last September.
