NEEDSHES

NEEDSHES, an independent alternative rock band from Tashkent, Uzbekistan, is a balancing act between the moody atmosphere of The NBHD, with dainty anthems reminiscent of The Killers, a bit of the oddball nature of Jack White and the heartbreaking ballad skillset of Coldplay. With a musically diverse experience in mind, Otabek Salamov (Beck) conceptualized the ideology of NEEDSHES in 2011. Stemming from his childhood, he encapsulates his art for composing bluesy story-telling songs with love ballads infused with swagger punk rock and suffocating alt-rock/hip-hop tints. Finalizing the sound Beck was looking for, in 2016 after several line-up changes, he enlisted in Ivan Petukhov (guitar) and Alexey Manakhov (drums) to round out the sound. Together they offer a signature alternative rock foundation with elements of blues, funk, soul, punk and R&B. They stand out with their smooth and powerful vocal arrangements, catchy melodies, often cinematic vibes and uncommonly diverse genre approach. Our EPK here
