Pleaser has been played on NTS shows including FAUZIA, with Join The Strings first played on 14 November 2024.

1) Founded in 2019, Pleaser is a three-piece band formed by Collin Bennett, Jordan Johnson, and Graham Dickson.

With influences ranging from The Strokes to Gorillaz to Thin Lizzy, they can be counted on for solid melody, great harmonies, and riffs that stick in your head for days.

In October of 2020, the band enlisted the expertise of producer Cole Clark to record their first, five song EP, entitled, “Why Aren’t You Any Fun?” released in March of 2021.

“We were really happy with what happened in the studio for this project. I feel like we captured the spectrum of sound we were hoping for. The range of material, from really poppy to pretty dead-on rock, represents us well. We’re influenced by a lot of classic rock bands but keep an ear on what’s current.” – says Collin.

The band continues to write new material and is currently working on their next release.

3) NYC experimental pop duo Pleaser is the music of Carrie Furniss and Travis Hagan, a very loving couple based in New York City. This experimental pop duo draws inspiration from the “true love” tropes of Reality TV and their own marriage while overcoming the limitations and learning curve of their superfluous gear obsession. Their diverse musical backgrounds in jazz, punk, noise, modular synthesis, and free improvisation culminate into a wonky top-40 fantasy.
