The Rude Awakening

The Rude Awakening are Johnny Normal and Bridget Gray. This modern synthpop act create fabulous, infectious electronic music with searing synths, amazing rhythm tracks and gloriously acidic lyrics. Synthpop with a slightly sharp edge for grown up ears, touching on relationships, taboos and social / popular culture. TRA also produce and remix for other wonderful acts such as B-Movie, Peter Godwin, Birmingham Electric, Mechanical Cabaret. In 2022/23 The Rude Awakening featured on the amazing album '6122- A Tribute to Andrew Fletcher' (Depeche Mode) with their innovative cover of 'Should Be Higher', which reached number 2 on the German Official Album Charts. The duo are currently recording their second album at their new Dog House Studio, following on from their debut LP Kaleidoscope ...along with a series of EP releases in 2023/24. Collaborations/remixes ongoing with Carlos Peron, Blackcarburning, Mister Strange, Technomancer and others.
