Death and the Penguin are an English four-piece Alternative band from London.[1][2]
The band consists of Toby Smith (vocals/guitar), Chris Olsen (guitar/keyboard/vocals), Andy Acred (bass/keyboard/vocals) and Phil Gadsden (drums).[3] The band's musical style has been described as a combination of hardcore, indie and math rock, and has been compared to established acts such as The Mars Volta, Radiohead and Minus The Bear.[4][5][6]
The band released their debut album "Anomie" on 27 July 2018,[7] featuring the singles Kill Saatchi ("a perfect equilibrium between disjointed key signatures and catchy instrumentals" - The Line of Best Fit[8]) and Colour In Me ("a devastating bout of avant rock that breaks down barriers into tiny little pieces" - Clash (magazine)[9]).
