“Expect the unexpected.” The motto of Tomi Ungerer, Strasbourg’s enfant terrible, couldhave been written for Pales. Born in the depths of a cellar in 2021, the quintet has no timefor classifications: they forge a raw, visceral sound where industrial, noise and trip-hopcollide, evoking Massive Attack, Sonic Youth and Dry Cleaning.Brought to European attention with their EP CRUSH, the band have built their reputation onstage, where their performances induce an irrepressible trance, constantly skirting theboundaries of chaos. The sound hits hard, hypnotises, triggers spasms and conjures up thesmells of cosmetics and burning rubber.Catch Pales live on tour across the UK in November 2026.
