Edit history

Pyramid Mission is a high octane, experimental punk group that plays with a punk-rock, “kick your teeth in” type of moxie, complimented with mystical ambient psychedelia. Fusing the sampling-heavy beats and anthemic hooks with the energy of a heroic dose of adrenaline, Pyramid Mission creates music and shows so intense that audiences are left craving more. Pyramid Mission burst into existence in early 2021 as a strange phenomenon occurred: band-members Gio Lambos (composer/vocals), Yiani Baratsas (production) and Quentin Romot-Smith (production/drums) started having the same, recurring dream of a God within the Internet - a deus-ex-machina - speaking to them. Developing a fascination with the Internet’s impact on the collective human consciousness, the band channeled this inspirational burst into their debut, soon to be released album, “Spit in the Eye” alongside a mind bending, audio-visual live show that combines cathartic energetic performance with phantasmagoric visuals that can best be described as David Lynch having his way with your mind using an old Nintendo GameBoy. While the music is conceptually dense, the band’s love of pop melodies and classic song structure draws in audiences from all walks of life. Their work, spanning music, short film and performance, depicts the tangled world wide web that we all weave and explores the inevitable alienation that humans experience from their humanity that is inherent to our bizarre information age. However, Pyramid Mission do not merely deride cyberspace as a separate, alien realm. Rather, they see it as a grotesque carnival where humanity’s unconscious desires distort until they take on a life of their own. In light of this, Pyramid Mission’s songs proudly stand as resolute anthems of introspection, advocating when one bears witness to darkness and chaos, they ought to turn their eyes inward to observe how this madness is perpetuated in their own minds. Their debut single, towerDOWN, premiering November 5th has been described as “an anthemic, blood-pumping ode to the human spirit that is as catchy as it is compelling” by music blogger Stanley Ching of Safety Last. Hugo Ferrer of the Lowrise Collective declared it “a banger of equal parts machismo and elegance”. With a bounty of fresh tracks on the horizon, Pyramid Mission is the band to keep all your sensory organs on the lookout for.
