London rock-trio Bella Figura have built a strong London following with a sound that has cut deeply with cerebral poetic lyricism but also has blown away audiences with its sheer raw power.

New single ‘Didn’t Love You’ taken from the band’s latest EP Forever Lost continues to push the American west coast sounds of the 60’s and 70’s forward in a psychedelic blues driven swirl of intoxicating regret and anguish that nourishes as much as it does engage. Powerfully cathartic yet immediately impacting, the track deals with the labyrinth of emotions and the guarding of the self involved in becoming close to someone which is plainly laid bare in the main track hook lyric: “When I said I didn’t love you, I lied”.

The band’s frontman Justin Gartry is set to become the centre of his own musical scene with the launch of this single coinciding with a week of gigs being setup for some very exciting new artists and alter egos and new musical incarnations of Gartry’s as part of the Give-A-Gig week in aid of the Youth Music Charity and coalescing together Gartry’s own new independent record label Tourino Records.

Bella Figura will be headlining Mau Mau Bar on March 28th and the other show details and lineups can be found here [https://www.facebook.com/events/2170805536478552/] All profits go to The Youth Music Charity.
