KORINTHIANS is a dance-postpunk quartet from Ghent, Belgium, characterized by some as “the 2020s version of Editors” (De Standaard, BE), “postpunk refreshingly different” (Dark Life Experience, DE), “new-romantic darkwave” (Stereo Embers Magazine, US), and “the guitar version of Depeche Mode (their previous label boss, BE), though they find their inspiration in diverse artists such as Goose, Mogwai, The Soft Moon, Boytronic, Igor Stravinsky and sci-fi soundtracks.

After the release of their debut album Chaos/Control in December 2019 and the subsequent pandemic, 2022 was their watershed year, with the following highlights:

• Line-up of international festivals: Sinner’s Day (BE), Dark Skies Over Witten (DE), Porta Nigra Festival (BE), Into The Dark (BE)
• A German mini-tour
• Supports of Traitrs (CAN), Invincible Spirit (DE), She Wants Revenge (US) and The Sheila Divine (US).

Their recent single "Well" was praised internationally as follows:

• “Firmly rooted in the ’80s Post-Punk and New Wave, the guitar-driven sound for dark hearts from the quartet, at times heightened by evocative synth sweeps, recall somehow the resonant noirish romanticism of Interpol and Editors and even the bombastic tones of early Radiohead and Arcade Fire.” (White Lies/White Heat, US)
• "'Well' unites everything that can make post-punk so exciting: a driven beat, deep bass, spacy sounds and melodic guitars." (Dark Entries, BE)
• “A majestic single! KORINTHIANS distills sounds from the beginning of the millennium, from pop and post punk, dark and light in equal parts. Their music is arranged with agile and bright synthesizers that push you to the dance floors.” (Escafandrista Musical, SP)
• “An energetic, contemporary touch. Post-punk tones that sound airy and spacey, but with a certain urgency" (Luminous Dash, BE)

In March 2023 their first ever UK tour is scheduled. The rest of the spring of 2023 consists of a series of Dutch and Belgian shows, and the release of their new album "A Major Walk" on 25 May.
