BAND PROFILE
POST-PUNK • DARKWAVE • ALTERNATIVE
For fans of Killing Joke, Joy Division, The Chameleons etc
Third House are a UK post-punk band combining driving bass, abrasive guitar, electronics and atmospheric textures with dark, cathartic songwriting.
Formed by musicians with roots across the UK alternative and post-punk underground, Third House bring together Umair “Spider” Chaudhry, Julian Miller and Al Kenny.
The band have shared stages with Light of Eternity, featuring Killing Joke drummer Paul Ferguson; The Cassandra Complex; and Segs & Co, featuring Segs Jennings of The Ruts, establishing Third House within the contemporary UK post-punk and alternative circuit.
Their sound draws on the intensity and atmosphere of early post-punk while incorporating darkwave, industrial and electronic elements to create something both familiar and distinctly their own.
Third House are currently promoting their second EP, Minor Crown, alongside the single and video “Dig Your Own Grave”. Plans to record a full length album are underway.
