Biography

Unknown Era formed in 2014 by a ragtag group of musicians, socialites and party heads, all well known in the local Nottingham scene. They quickly built a strong reputation as one of Nottingham’s most popular bands with their high energy mix of Soul, Ska, Reggae, Gypsy, Punk, Rock, Funk and Dub. In November 2015 the band released their self titled debut EP. The official launch party at Rough Trade in Nottingham was a SELL OUT. The band continued this momentum in 2016 with several more sold out Nottingham shows and in April and May a full UK tour which saw them win over audiences in London, Cardiff, Bristol, Manchester, Sheffield, Hull, Coventry, Leeds, Derby, Leicester and Kidderminster. The band’s stage show got more professional and the energy went through the roof as the band earned a reputation for their crazy outfits, mad stage dancing and audience interaction. New material has had an even more socially conscious and political edge bringing messages of equality and unity. The band have recently completed a brand new album and are planning a complete re brand and image change for early 2020. The first track from the album was played by Dean Jackson on BBC Introducing East Midlands in March 2017. 'A must see live band' - Dean Jackson, BBC 'They don't host the party, they are the party' - Derby Telegraph 'Its really good' - Braidon (regarding A State of Affairs) 'This album really does have something for everyone… well, maybe everyone except Boris' - Nusic
