ARTHUR SQUAWKS! - Arthur Squawks! is an artist collective and art rock band, operating between London, UK and Athens, GR. With the involvement of various musicians and visual artists, the band performs and releases songs written in the frame of songwriter's Adrianos Pandis PhD research.

Debut album, 'Hospital', follows the frontman's experience in the cancer ward of an Athenian hospital, aiming to retell the story as a rock and roll tale. The album has been most notably praised by veteran Barcelona rock n’ roll outlet, Ruta 66, in the December 24 issue. Arthur Squawks! have been presenting ' Hospital' in various grassroots venues in London (The Finsbury, Cavendish Arms, Gladstone Arms) and Athens (Underathens Association, Diskex Records) since October 2024. LAERTIS – Originally from Athens, Laertis is a London-based guitarist and singer-songwriter with a passion for pretty much any music that tickles his ears. This has led to the reimagining of Latin and Mediterranean Folk with modern and electronic elements. His music aims to evoke vibrant emotions – incorporating groovy guitars, soulful vocals, and self-reflective lyrics that touch upon themes of existence, humanity, passion and love.
