What the press said;
“Promenade Cinéma, a distinct duo from Sheffield with brilliant baritone from Dorian and haunting harmonies from Blurred Girl, with plenty of keyboard action. They created some very danceable darkwave, a fair achievement given the size of the stage – and their cinematic synths soon had the audience moving; musical arrangements to make you think.“ - LouderThanWar
"SPOTLIGHT - Their most accomplished recording yet." - The Electricity Club
"Emotional and image-creating electronic pop of class cinematic noir.” - Indiestadt.net
"I’ve never seen a bunch of people rushing to a merch stand to buy a track as it’s being performed live before! Promenade Cinema 80’s influences are clear to hear but their own personal synthpop style does not sound at all dated, they sound like a band from 2017." - Resistanz Festival
"There really are few bands that can claim to truly be the real evolution of synthpop but we feel that PC really are. With a sound that is symphonic, cinematic and with a pure human edge. Still the best bet for the NEXT BIG THING." - DEF
Upcoming shows throughout 2018 include a major UK electronic festival & tour date with synthpop act Empathy Test.
