Centrefolds

Centrefolds is a United Kingdom electronic, pop and rock group active since 2010, featuring Tom Corneill, Martin Iles, Phil Jack Smith, Richard Beeby and Alex McClean.

Style and releases

The group’s 2014 seven-track EP Fashion brings them wider attention and leads to airplay and coverage from BBC Introducing, NME, BBC 6 Music, Absolute Radio, Fred Perry Subculture, Radio 2 and Hype Machine. Their sound combines pop hooks, electronic beats, angular guitars, synths and textured production, and is described through their own hybrid labels including indie-dance, punk, euphoric neon pop and rock. Their material also draws on guitar music and electronic music in equal measure.

Activity and performances

Centrefolds appear at Glastonbury Festival, support major national bands across the UK, and receive airplay worldwide. They are also associated with the single You, Me & Debauchery, which leads into a new EP.

Critical response

Coverage describes the group as hook-driven and genre-crossing, with references to indie-pop, electronica, prog, krautrock, punk, French house, trance and rock. Other comments highlight the band’s swagger, energy and guitar-led approach.
