Optimistic Englishman Blends Hip Hop, House, Spoken Word, and Rave
Hip hop, house, spoken word, and rave are thrown into the mix by this former English teacher from Manchester. The charismatic Antony Szmierek began his career on stage with poetry readings at open mic nights and now creates euphoric highlights at many festivals with his band, including the most recent edition of Into the Great Wide Open. He is set to release his debut album in early 2025, which many are eagerly anticipating—and for good reason: tracks like “The Words to Auld Lang Syne,” “Circle of Light,” “The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Fallacy,” and the latest single “Rafters” leave listeners wanting more.
