Tizre

It has often been said that Tizre are probably one of the most enduring and undiscovered chill collective in Europe!! While at the same time being celebrated by fans who have come to appreciate their unusual blend of Ambient/Chill. Their loyalty of their fans is growing.

This is unusual in the sense that the group have never played live...and dont intend to !! "We are more comfortable in the studio, we have done the live circuit in other groups, we enjoy the relaxed environment" Disillusioned with the politics of the music business and endless attempts with other groups, Tizre decided to reduce their numbers and stick with three members. It was Terry who persuaded the other members that they should recruit guest members, particulary in the vocal area. Mellisa Jacobs was brought in to provide a soulful and haunting voice to the recordings. And what is amazing not a professional drummer insight. Mellisa had already sung in a large number of bands and it was immediately obvious to the others that she was a natural addition to Tizre to help provide the pulse of their music.

The band create a very distinctive sound, setting them apart from their contemporaries. This flexibility and their experimental creativity are evident on an increasingly wide range of songs, with many stylistic twists and turns being showcased. Tizre have released 8 CD's (discography on web site) plus 3 CD singles

So how would you describe their music ? Trip hop is a music genre also known as the Bristol sound. The trip hop description was applied to the musical trend in the mid-1990s of downtempo electronic music that grew out of England's hip hop and house scenes. It has also been described as "Europe's alternative of choice in the second half of the '90s", and a fusion "of Hip-Hop and Electronica until neither genre is recognisable." It is thus categorized as a fairly experimental genre, and sometimes with elements of Dance.
