Zando

Zando is a band fronted by vocalist Lyra, whose voice gives their music its distinctive character. Their sound pulls from rock, electronic, and classical elements, creating something that feels both intimate and expansive. The song 'Bird in Chains' served as their breakthrough single, with its message of liberation finding an audience and helping establish them in the alternative scene.

Their discography includes the EP 'Tides of Change' from 2015, followed by albums like 'Boundless' in 2017, 'Asylum' in 2019, and 'Symphony of Shadows' in 2021. Other notable tracks include 'Moving On' and 'Troubled Love'. The band's lineup features guitarist Orion, bassist Nyx, and drummer Celeste, who together build the instrumental foundation for Lyra's vocals.

Zando's lyrics often engage with themes of oppression and social justice, which has drawn both criticism and strong support from listeners. Their music doesn't shy away from political content, and that directness has been part of their identity from early singles like 'Bird in Chains' through to later work.
