Strange Currencies

Something strange, something eloquent, refreshing, rhythmical and blissful. From their acoustic sets to full on alternative rock sounds. Sounds like… Red Hot Chili Peppers, Pearl Jam, progressive REM….

Formed in early 2016 in Nottingham, UK as an acoustic duo, the band has gone on to complete a 27 date acoustic tour of the Midlands. PP Johnson brings his words, production knowledge and masterful voice to a combined sound that can only be described as Strange Currencies. Claudine West is an accomplished multi-instrumentalist/songwriter/producer. Often performing with mandolin and drums. With the Derby talents of Andrew Death on guitar / multi-instruments. Steve Canner on bass (Big thanks to Trevor ‘Bassey’ Easton on bass initially) Robert ‘Too Tall’ Batchelor regularly joins in on harmonica.

 ‘Unwrap Strange Currencies…The sonorous vocals of PP Johnson. With an eclectic acoustic foundation, this is rock music for the soul. The multi instrumentation of Claudine West emits rhythmical eloquence with alternative undertones. Lyrical diversity walks between parallel lines of the hauntingly uplifting.  This creative band radiate powerful live performances, invoking a zephyr that turns a hurricane.’
