Prosa

Prosa are a Tāmaki Makarau/Berlin based punk band formed by singer/guitarist Florian Bell (they/them). After recording the EP with the help of Melanie drummer Joe Gasparich, Flo was joined by Elle Purcell (bass) and Georgia Holden (drums) to form a live band to be reckoned with. Envisioned as a crossover between Joy Division and Fugazi, Prosa attempts to attain the best of both post-hardcore and post-punk, two genres not conventionally mixed, hence the dire need for Prosa.

Prosa, from the Latin word for straightforward or direct – i.e. prosa oratio – is exactly that, direct, while maintaining a complexity and depth to avoid superficiality and punk cliches.
