Described as “indie-proper”, the duo write, produce, record, mix and master all their own music.

The duo’s latest offering is the brand new 5-track EP Open Doors which is an India Exclusive release.

Says the duo “We decided to name the EP after the track “Open Doors” because this collection of songs represents a new beginning. We’re excited for what the future holds and about the music we are making at the moment.”

Determined to translate their music from tape to stage, The Response have crafted a liveshow that utilizes every one of their limbs and will leave you wondering exactly how the duo – just two of them - can make so much noise.
