Women in STEM is a Liverpool-based female-fronted group not limited by a specific genre - likened to artists such as Black Country, New Road, Kate Bush and Mitski. They’re known for their folk/classical instrumental section, complex vocal harmonies and lamenting lyricism, the band already has a small cult following from their few gigs. The band consists of Rachel Clemett on flute, saxophone and vocals, Lauren Sladdin on vocals and keys, Esme Thomas on bass and vocals, Isaac Ashfield on drums and Charlie Stevens on guitar. The members met while studying music at the University of Liverpool and blend their prior mix of classical and self-taught backgrounds to create their unique sound.Having played a few gigs at experimental venue ‘The Q U A RR Y’ in Liverpool, the band are hoping to gig more to road test their new material before heading into the studio and their headline gig at the Tung Auditorium on the 16th May.
