Studio Standing
For TEZ, music is therapy – a heartfelt exploration through life’s experiences, with each measure coasting its way towards optimism and inclusivity. Hailing from Margate in Kent, TEZ is Owen Mellett, Joe Martin, and Dan Hughes.
TEZ’s sound is marked by driving rhythms and cascading, aqueous instrumentation that tips its hat to neo-psychedelia, ambient and indie rock. With inspiration from artists like Palace, Foals, and Two Door Cinema Club, their music radiates summer vibes, personal growth, and a zest for life.
From bedroom project to growing sensation, their story has been one to watch. Since finalising their line-up in 2023, the schoolmates landed their debut gig in the Swiss Alps. They went on to premiere on the BBC, embark on a UK tour, and sell out headline shows across the UK and EU.
Crowdfunding and the support of charities like Help Musicians have played a major part in TEZ’s journey. Their second and third EP’s, The New Era and Gloria Runs The Shop, produced by Ian Flynn (Yussef Dayes, Hozier) were made possible through a target-smashing fundraising effort.
TEZ have amassed a strong and growing discography, a fanbase amassing over half a million streams, and racked up widespread media support.
“A beautiful lo-fi ethereal quality.”
