Background notes
Archive material and source history
Surprises formed in London around the mid-2010s, with Lily Frost on vocals and piano and Ethan Hayes on guitar. They were later joined by bassist Jake Miller and drummer Sam Carter. Their debut album 'Veritas' came out in 2017, featuring the song 'Crooked Smile' that became their most recognizable track.
'Crooked Smile' has a haunting melody that connected with listeners, along with other songs like 'Sinners' and 'The Mistress and Her Heart' from their catalog. The band followed up with albums called 'Illuminate' in 2019 and 'Echoes' in 2021.
Frost's background as a classically trained pianist and Hayes's interest in alternative rock informed their sound. Their live shows were known for being emotionally charged, though the band sometimes faced attention for personal struggles and outspoken views that became part of their story.
