Clement Marfo & The Frontline's scintillating crossover sound is set to crash into the mainstream this year. Recently named as one of MTV's Brand New for 2012 tips and one of T4's Rising Stars of 2012, the genre-colliding septet will release their new single 'Mayhem' on March 12th on Warner Bros. Records.
Featuring a guest appearance from grime legend Kano, 'Mayhem' finds Clement Marfo & The Frontline twisting urban leanings with gargantuan pop hooks and a rush of energised rock dynamics. 'Mayhem' is indicative of the collective's unique approach: they're the sound of the city streets, the sound of aspirational youth rising above societal problems, the sound of a multi-cultural community uniting rather than dividing.
Clement Marfo & The Frontline have built a reputation for their frenetic, irrepressible live shows following dates with Plan B, The Streets, De La Soul, Example, Ghostpoet, Rizzle Kicks, Florence and The Machine and a place on Sara Cox's Insanity Tour. The release of their first Warner Bros. Records single 'Overtime' was acclaimed by an equally eclectic array of supporters and artists including Mistajam, Zane Lowe, Huw Stephens, Semtex, Ed Sheeran, Sway, Smiler, Master Shortie, MTV2, MTV Base, NME, RDW, sbtv and Urban Development.
