Bio

Ioana is a self-taught guitarist and drummer. Trance evoking steady base is intermingling with ornamenting and circling voice of Ioana’s guitar. The dreamlike atmosphere gets spiced up with post-punk elements driven by distorted riffs, introspective lyrics and aggressive guitar shreddings.

With shoegaze and post-punk elements, Ioana's latest release 'Letters' combines distorted guitars, explosive drums and fragile vocals to express a lingering nostalgia.
