"Hip-Hopera" - A Brand New Music Genre: Josephine & The Artizans Release Debut EP 'Dies Irae'
LONDON, UK (Top40 Charts/ Vision Music Promotions) 'Its magic works more in balancing these separate parts and coming up with a cohesivesong at the end of it. Indeed, if they can produce an album of similar work then a Mercury nomination is surely on the cards.' - The Sound Of Confusion

'Let Me Go is different from the band's previous single, 'Lacrymosa', as this is a more filmic and more dramatic but the band retain their classical, near operatic edge that sets them apart from pretty much any other band around at the moment.'- Listen With Monger

''With the fine vocal range of Permaul and some impressive musicianship it seems like there could be plenty in store for Josephine and the Artizans future'- Impropaganda 'Josephine's choir like vocals, sharp rap flows and artistic orchestra sounds make for a thrilling piece'- The Flux

''Let Me Go' is not like anything I have ever heard before. This single by Josephine & The Artizans shows how any kind of music can be blended together to form a very special hybrid genre.The rough, street sound of the rap verses contrasted with the purity of the classical opera chorus and the violin weaving its way seamlessly through a heavy, cymbal-focused drumbeat makes for an interesting listen that sweeps you up in the track's drama.'- AAA Music

"The Artizans have mastered the merging of classical and modern, resulting in an authentic blend of old and new; and have challenged basic music genres to create their own label of sound." - Adam and Eve

London, UK - On the 2nd of June 2014 Josephine & The Artizans will release their highly anticipated debut EP, ʻDies Iraeʼ, alongside an official music video for the title track, ahead of an intensely busy summer on the stages of the UKʼs most exciting music festivals.

With their forthcoming EP, the band explore their signature Hip-Hopera style in depth, fusing classical strings and operatic vocals with Hip-Hop beats, rap and electric guitar. The unique ensemble tackle extremely relatable, and surprisingly diverse, subjects from the cultural pressures on todays youth all the way to isolation in plain sight. Each and every song is carefully crafted to create an incomparable experience set to the backing of ethereal strings and driving rhythms. The accompanying music video tells the story of three different teenagers forced to follow an unchosen lifestyle by an older generation juxtaposed with images of the band performing against the backdrop of a gothic church.

Josephine & The Artizans have received wide spread acclaim since supporting bands such as Maximo Park, The Fratellis and Tom Odell on the main-stages of Galtres Parklands and Brownstock festivals, among many others, last summer. The band have received amazingly positive reviews and airplay on national radio stations from such reputable sources as Tom Robinson on BBC 6 Music and Premier Radio as well as an overwhelming response from online and printed press, for example Fresh On The Net, Love Music Magazine, Adam Not Eve and The Times. The group have also been creating a buzz with their unforgettable live show in their hometown, London, with performances on the main stage at the massive O2 Islington, the legendary Bush Hall, Brixtonʼs award winning Hootananny and Camdenʼs world famous Jazz Cafe, and thatʼs only counting 2014.

Josephine & The Artizans have already confirmed a flurry of live appearances this summer including Boomtown Fair, Lechlade and Headlander festivals with plenty more yet to be announced.
