Peak Flow

UK Post-Punk Goth duo band Peak Flow were inspired to name their group in honour of their music which they describe as “anthemic, rhythmical wave lengths.”

The band, made up of James and Jools had a mutual interest in 80s Synth bands and Goth bands like The Cure and Flesh for Lulu.  They both also had an appreciation for Post-Punk bands like Joy Division and The Mary Jesus Chain.  The band states that “we wanted to put our own spin on music that has influenced us and create something that would stand up to other contemporary artists with bold production.”

When describing their creative process Peak Flow starts with lyrics and guitars and the duo then builds synths around it to create punchy catchy songs with good hooks.  Peak Flow describes their songs as covering “various emotions that happen in life and we choose song releases based upon the ones that stick in our heads.” 

Heavily involved in the aesthetics and look of the band James and Jools clarify that they ”are huge fans of 80s gothic bands and really wanted to revive this look in our own music. We were fortunate enough to be able to work in collaboration with some talented film and artwork creators such as Zak Rashid and Giannis Kipreos who could bring our vision to life." 

To stay creative and inspired Peak Flow says “We have a lot of demos currently and want to create a body of work that we can be proud of by hopefully gaining a larger fan base that has the same lust for noisy hook music as we do.”

Peak Flow enjoy engaging their fans through social media and share as much of their creative process as they can.  They explain “The band has a strong DIY work ethic, and we feel people can connect with this through our social media pages.”

in the near future Peak Flow hope to release an EP.  They say “we are hoping to keep the aesthetic and musical direction the same as ‘Running To You’ instant, noisy and hook driven”.   

For new listeners to Peak Flow the band suggests “if you like anthemic pop music check out our latest release. We have more in the pipeline coming soon.”
