Harlequinn

About Me

Harlequinn are a five piece all female band based in Oxfordshire, UK, playing upbeat and catchy rock/pop music. They're well known for their alternative approach to their genre. With their current line-up they have been together since June 2008.
Their music has already been played on local radio stations and they have played countless shows but Harlequinn's ambitions don't stop there.
They write their own music taken from a wide range of influences from bands such as The Used and Fightstar to Meg & Dia and Incubus.
Harlequinn shun the stereotype of previous girl bands.

REVIEWS
"Next up was Banbury based all-girl five-piece Harlequinn. A tidy mixture of Pop and Rock – it’s an energetic sound powered by catchy riffs, fast beats and powerful, multi-layered vocals. Well-written material packed with hooks and ideas, they’ve got a strong range from atmospheric ballad to fast, catchy Rock anthem that allows them to really show off their ability as performers and scope as song-writers. Holding their own against some very stiff competition they went on to receive a deservedly enthusiastic response from the Thursday night Flapper crowd." Stephen Hudyba, The Flapper, Birmingham
"Once again we are treated to a young feisty all girl rock band and, surprise surprise, they don't come from Bedford! In fact, Harlequinn travelled from Banbury near Oxford to be with us tonight and admit that they struggled to locate Esquires! Thankfully Dannika (vocals), Imogen (guitar, vocals), Laura (guitar), Connie (bass) and Robyn (drums) managed it and we are treated to a set that incorporates many different sounds which twist and turn throughout their three minute life. Never forget the surprise element which in this case is a cover of "Beat It"! I am not a fan of the song, but the girls make it work perfectly. Influenced by, amongst others, Hundred Reasons, Incubus, and Fightstar, there is a real grungy element to their songs. The vocals seem to be slightly Hayley Paramore, especially on "Here Me" which is also on their myspace. "Don't Mix the Used" is Harlequinn's most recently written song and sums up the teenagers attitude as they tell us after their performance "We love playing music, playing gigs and we loved playing tonight". Esquires loved hosting them." -Martin Stapleton , Esquires , Bedford
