YC art-rockersEcce Shnakkick off theirUK tourwithEMF this week, beginning with Manchester and followed by Worthing, Portsmouth, Southend, London and Leeds. They wrapped up East coast and Midwest dates in North America last month following their 2025 West Coast, along with Spacehog. Ecce Shnak also recently featured on EMF's stellar track 'LGBTQ+ Lover'with both Davey and Bella contributing vocals, the video for which was filmed during the 2025 tour.
This is all happening on the back of"Vincent", the first single fromtheir full-length album“Dandy Variances", out in autumn viaRecords, Man Records. Operatic trills collide with frantic rock energy in a high-decibeltakedown ofa formulaic antagonist through the power of one's own voice. Directed and edited by DJay Brawner andproduced by Brawner, Brooks Jones, Beth Narducci and David Roush,the videoisan homage to superb music videos of yesteryear - for Meshuggah’s “Bleed” and311's “Down”.
Formed in the mid-noughties and forged in NYC's experimental scene, Ecce Shnak (pronounced Eh-kay sh-knock) is made up ofDavid Roush(composer, bassist and one of two singers),Bella Komodromos(vocals),Chris Krasnow(guitar),Gannon Ferrell (guitar), andHenry Buchanan-Vaughn(drums).
"We, Ecce Shnak and EMF, are absolutely thrilled to BOOMshnakalaka our way through 6 dates in EMF’s homeland... It will be EMF and Ecce Shnak’s 3rd musical voyage together, after our trampucings through the West Coast of the US in June 2025 and parts of the East Coast this past month," saysDavid Roush.
EcceShnakhas a reputation for astounding performances, their music a volatile yet meticulously crafted ecosystem, where technical precision meets a sense of inspired mayhem. Their 2025'Shadows Grow Fangs' EPwasrecorded and produced byJeff Lucci, mixed byNicholas Vernhes(Animal Collective, Deerhunter, Wild Nothing, War on Drugs) and mastered by Grammy award-winning engineerJoe LaPorta(David Bowie, The Weeknd, Foo Fighters, Vampire Weekend).
"Vincent is a mid-tempo, jumpy, flash-in-the-pan hardcore song with classical art song vocals. I originally wrote it for a film that was never made but was imagined by a classmate of mine at Temple University in Philadelphia in 2015. The character Vincent is an archetype of a smug, inconsiderate jerk most of us occasionally come across, try as we might to avoid them. Vincent is not an absolute scoundrel, but he is wack enough to rightly deserve the average person’s indignant eye-roll," saysDavid Roush.
"Ultimately, the narrator resolves to overthrow Vincent’s jerkface’itude in the final refrain:“I’ll destroy your equipment with my voice!”If you have a medium-tier opponent in your life whom you would like to rid yourself of somehow, you can sing this line to yourself. Hopefully your Vincent will buzz off and go kick rocks!"
"Blending metal-infused groove with the soaring grandeur of choral, opera-style vocals. If Björk’s "Army of Me" was a high-speed collision in a mid-90s mosh pit, "Vincent" is the operatic survivor emerging from the wreckage with a beautifully unhinged energy"~God Is In The TV
"Solid salvos of mathy rock ornateness, sub-metal weight, and prog-infused punk... pop infectiousness, classical grace, and even hardcore aggression all working in harmony"~Big Takeover Magazine
"Both jarring and exhilarating... powerful and anthemic. Mind blown!"
~The Spill Magazine
"Art/alt rock is a good starting point with varied twists of punk, chamber pop, new wave, experimental rock and more besides, there is never a predictable moment in sound or design"~Black Noise Zine
