ERNST is serious. Whilst they understand ‘The Importance of Being Earnest’, their idol is Virginia Woolf rather than Oscar Wilde. Their indie rock riffs accompany queer-feminist messages, and their lyrics confront your innermost hopes and fears. ERNST’s sound is a fusion of grunge, punk, indie pop and new wave, always maintaining a raw edge beneath a dreamy exterior. 
 
It was a chance encounter in a Viennese staircase that led to ERNST’s unexpected journey: their tour bus “Joe” took them from Hollabrunn, Austria to Brighton, UK to play the Alternative Escape before their first album single “Don’t Buy It” was even released.
