The Controversy | KGUP PRESENTS Ep 7

Introducing The Controversy on KGUP PRESENTS as seen on inDtv channel 140 on Universe Network. This episode is brought to you by Leafy Legal Services. The Controversy is an Alternative music band based out of Los Angeles, CA. The trio is a collaboration of Laura Vall (lead vocals, keyboards), Thomas Hjorth (guitars, vocals), and Amy White (synth). In 2019, instead of the release of a traditional EP, they released six stand alone singles including the hit single "I", followed with "The World on Fire," and their most recent single "Oh Dear My".

As they mention in our interview, The Controversy is heavily influenced by David Bowie, St Vincent, Radiohead, and Massive Attack. One of The Controversy's most alluring feature is their dark melodramatic sound. Some might compare them to the melodies of The Cure and Depeche.
