EarlyGame's Artist of the Day is Messina!
The band MESSINA from Winterthur, Switzerland, has been around since 2017. Consisting of Gian Rosen (Drums), Nicola Philipp (Keys), Jonathan Labusch (Guitar) and Raphael Weidmann (Vocals), they found their sound with forward-looking, electronic, but still emotional and fun art-pop. MESSINA released their debut album Sponsored Post last year, following their EP from 2018.
“We are looking forward to playing as many live shows as we can in 2022, and hope to show our fans our debut album Sponsored Post and a few new songs which will be released this year on stage. We would love to play in other countries as well and expand our MESSINA universe.” - MESSINA
“Sponsored Post means a lot to us. It’s exactly the sound we wanted to have for our debut album.” - MESSINA
