The Penny Black Remedy

The Penny Black Remedy’s symbiance of darkly comic, unpretentiously intelligent, stubbornly genre defying and catchy songs and their exhilarating live shows have been wowing audiences and promoters alike in places as far afield as London, Holland and Croatia.

In fact it is their live reputation above all that has provided them with many highlights; winning the prestigious Gibson Guitar Best Alternative Act at the 2008 UK Indy Awards, headlining The Borderline, Charlotte Street Blues bar and Valkhof Festival (Nijmegen) and the Melkweg (Amsterdam) in Holland; playing a sold-out three night residency in respected London venue The 12 Bar Club and sharing bills with such distinguished acts as The Buzzcocks, Starsailor, Joanna Newsom and Alabama 3 to name a few.

Although they’ve been compared to Gogol Bordello and Manu Chao, their music is truly original. Their recently released debut album, No One’s Fault But Your Own, received rave reviews but it is live that they have gained the reputation as one of London’s best acts.
