BIO
Genevieve Miles’ psychedelic indie fusion continues to take on new levels of depth with shoegaze and rock influences taking the forefront in latest single ‘howl.’
Inspired by the likes of Talking Heads, Slowdive and Courtney Barnett, Miles’ new single continues her evolution and maturity, as “a true artist of today's generation.” (Local and Live)
Together with her 5-piece band, her live shows are energising, joyous, affirming, therapeutic occasions to sing, dance and heal. “What a great night, all passion and angst… Patti Smith and P J Harvey Rolled into one."
After the triumphant release of her EP ‘So heavy, so hard to hold’ in 2023, Miles has been busy forging new expressions within her music. The EP, which offers “a sonic embrace to all who listen,” (Unrecorded) was featured in BBC Introducing’s Top Tracks of 2023, listed in Dead Good Music’s top ten EPs of 2023 and gained spots on Amazing Radio's 'Indie' and 'Easy Listening' playlists. Lead single ‘Good’, was first launched on a Hyundai advert in 2022 and accumulated over a million views.
2024 saw Genevieve gaining festival slots including Camp Bestival, Wychwood Festival; supporting Megan Wyn and Danny Mellin; headlining a packed out show at the renowned Hare and Hounds in Birmingham and receiving endorsement from exciting brands such as Goose and Gander.
BBC Radio have consistently supported Genevieve since 2019, with airplay as well as live opportunities, including a slot at BBC Introducing Live; their joint showcase with Birmingham Music Awards in 2020; the digital BBC Airwaves Festival in 2021, culminating in playing their stage at Truck Festival 2023.
As well as playing Truck Festival, 2023 was an exciting year including her first UK tour, a slot at a fringe event of The Great Escape Festival and playing Big Retreat Festival. Her wide range of influences was also celebrated when Fontaines D.C shared her acoustic cover of their song ‘I Don’t Belong’ for the online Rock the Breadline fundraiser.
On the live experience, Genevieve says: "I love throwing myself around on stage and shouting as loud as I can: it's for all those years that I stayed quiet, didn’t get mad, people pleased. This is the time of the wild woman: we are loud, emotional, ALIVE."
