Musically grown up in the Irish underground scene, Teika's songs are a idiosyncratic melting pot of British Romance and alternative rock influences, punky vibes with a dollop of desert and swamp. Inspired by the likes of PJ Harvey, Patti Smith, Kate Bush, David Bowie, Nick Cave and Nine Inch Nails, she just finished recording her first album entitled Bones’n’Stones. 

Existential lyrics, wrapped in fine songwriting and put forward by Teika’s haunting vocal expression, are presented with piano, bass (Georg Kostron) and drums (Gidon Carmel) as the band's backbone, inviting listeners to hear and feel the raw touch of a real band. To underline dramatic development, the songs are underscored by rich string arrangements, transforming Teïka’s stories into heartfelt, grand hymns full of intimate experiences. The first herald of the album is her debut single Overdrive, a sassy punk track bound to make heads bop as Teika invites listeners to go with her on that liberating road trip.
