Mock Surprise is a restless post-punk quintet who are trying to bring about a change towards a more contemporary, experimental sound in the underground rock scene.
Formed in 2019 they revel in combining the most different of sounds and genres, such as the attitude of post-hardcore with poppy vocals or jazz chords with noise rock. Started by Dávid Molnár (bass) and Attila-Botond Rázmán (drums) as a progressive rock band, they slowly changed their sound as new members Tamás Tóth-Fábián (guitar, vocals), Rose Timea Bökös (vocals) and László Rigó (guitar) joined, the culmination of this process being their upcoming debut album, scheduled for release in May.
Mock Surprise’s style is a combination of the members’ eclectic tastes; they take inspiration from all kinds of artists, ranging from Black Midi and Radiohead to Charli XCX. Live they bring a unique energy to the table, their concerts being an exciting amalgamation of quiet and intimate moments as well as noisy, aggressive jams.
