Biography

Semifinalists are Chris Steele-Nicholson and Ferry Gouw. “We came from different backgrounds, hopping seas and jobs and lives, doing shit, making shit happen, even before we met at a film school in London. Upon becoming friends things kicked into gear and projects were conjured up, films were shot, music was recorded, bands start and end in weekly cycles. When this creative dust settled Semifinalists emerged. It was with this ship that we decided to sail the emotional terrain. No more post-modernity, just fucking convction. No winks or nudges, just fucking doing it. We’ve worked so hard to make this the realest possible, we’ve given it everything we have, making it the best we know how. We’ve pushed things to the max! We’ve put our hearts on everything we’ve done because we care! We give a shit! Now we want you to come aboard and sail this with us. It’s hard we know, because it takes so much conviction and belief on your part. But when you do, this can be as rewarding and real to you as it is for us. Semifinalists are punk as shit. Join us in making this happen.”

    I cannot believe how unknown you guys still are! Your first album is a thousand times better than anything in the charts! Please keep making music you guys are awesome!

    Can't believe my comment from 2008 is still on the first page. Surely they should have more followers considering the brilliance of the first album. Did Adriana Alba move to a new band, I felt her voice added another layer to the band that was lost when she left? Guess I should give the follow up a better chance.

    Surprised to see the top tracks all from the second album.. I like it, but I really loved the first. 2 just sounds so trendy synth and forgettable, but not bad at all.. While the debut really stands apart - something I know I'll keep coming back to in the future..
