Irma Vep is an acoustic, avant-garde band hailing from Llanfairfechan, UK. Led by multi-talented musician Edwin Stevens, the group creates a unique blend of experimental sounds and heartfelt lyrics that captivate audiences.
The band consists of Andrew Cheetham on drums, Al Robinson on organ, Dan Bridgewood Hill on violins, Moema Meade lending her enchanting vocals, and Edwin Stevens taking charge of everything else. Together, they create a mesmerizing musical experience that pushes boundaries and defies genres.
With influences ranging from folk to punk to noise rock, Irma Vep's music is both eclectic and accessible. Their distinct sound sets them apart in the music scene as they fearlessly explore new sonic territories. Fans of Dead End & Halten, Hylidae, Kevin Coleman, Yeah You, and Villrosa will find themselves drawn to Irma Vep's captivating compositions.

Irma Vep is a loner, a joker, a roamer, a ribald construct riddled with both earnest anxiety and mercurial songwriting talent birthed by a young Edwin Stevens in Llanfairfechan, North Wales. Thrust into life after his mum bought a four track recorder for him, Edwin started recording for the cathartic process rather than the outcome. Having since fully grown into Irma Vep and now residing in Glasgow, Stevens' discography has expanded to document every aspect of his music, from ecstatically free group experiments to bare, sparse songwriting that cuts to the quick, shorn of ornament or pretence. Having bedded down into Manchester and now Glasgow’s bourgeoning DIY scene, Stevens moonlights in several other groups (Sex Hands, Klaus Kinski, Desmadrados Soldados De Ventura, Yerba Mansa…), bringing with him an instantly recognisable guitar language. However, it's in Irma Vep that his most life-affirming, troubling and thrilling music is made. Much Irma Vep feels like what "classic" music should feel like if it weren't so Classic. Each record, each song and each performance exists as an evolving drama.
