NAKED are Agnes Gryczkowska and Alex Johnston, a London-Berlin based duo whose music and live shows are dark and raw explosions of noise, hard industrial club beats, screamed vocals and violent performance art.

NAKED are a live experience, a vocal-based club act integrating the energy of hardcore, metal and performance art. They debuted a new performance called THE CAGE which placed the audience inside an industrial-sized cage in an underground vault in Somerset House, London.

Killed by Roses (release date 24 Jan 2020) plays like a psychological horror drama. It follows the protagonist’s descent from love to infidelity, into hatred, hysteria and self destruction.It records the multiple failed attempts to regain control over one’s life by breaking one’s personal shackles. It shows an existence where meaning is lost to absolute degradation and a rejection of moral limits. Sonically, the production is destroyed, blown-out and heavy, mirroring the extreme, raw and demonic vocals and lyrics.

Their last record Total Power Exchange (2017) used the sounds of noise, sex, vomit and distorted vocals and featured in Aphex’s Twins sets and Cosey Fanni Tutti’s mixes.

They toured extensively performing in clubs, festivals and galleries across Europe and Asia including Unsound, CTM Festival, Serpentine Galleries, Cafe OTO, SXSW, RBMA and more. The duo were featured in the DAZED 100 and soundtracked films for DAZED and Nowness. Their work has also been featured in i-D, FACT, Pitchfork, BBC Radio 1 and BBC Radio 6 and they have collaborated with Mykki Blanco.
