The Serenity Club - EP Launch Show Fusing the iconic 90's Seattle sound with rousing choruses and pop undertones to a contemporary alt-rock foundation, North London three-piece The Serenity Club are about to release their debut five-track EP Obsession Submission this November. Composed of school friends Raman Singh on vocals/guitars, Mit Inajar on bass and Kris Rich on drums, the band have been steamrollering through London's most iconic venues with their powerful set. After their debut at a noisy, sweaty Dublin Castle followed by shows for Camden Rocks at The Fiddler's Elbow and the Camden Grunge Scene at The Troubadour, the band have just played their first headline gig at The Good Mixer, quickly establishing themselves a force to be reckoned with on the circuit. With the release of debut single Heaven Is A World Without You in March followed by a further three tracks from the EP released in succession, the trio have received regular radio airplay on stations such as Total Rock, Future Hits and Amazing Radio UK and US. The band are making a triumphant return to The Dublin Castle to celebrate the release of the EP and air new material.
