The female fronted four-piece Annie Taylor has swiftly carved out a niche in the modern rock landscape with their dynamic fusion of grunge, indie rock, and psychedelic influences. Comprised of Gini Jungi (vocals, guitar), Tobias Arn (guitar), Michael Mutter (bass), and Daniel Bachmann (drums), the band is named whimsically after the first woman to survive going over Niagara Falls in a barrel.

Known for their electrifying live shows, Annie Taylor has toured extensively across Europe, building a reputation for their high-energy performances.

Last year, the band released their sophomore album, “Inner Smile,” recorded with acclaimed producer Ali Chant in Bristol, UK. The album marks a significant evolution in their sound, incorporating more complex arrangements and a broader sonic palette. Songs like “Schoolgirl” and “Push Me” demonstrate their growth as songwriters and musicians, exploring themes of self-discovery and resilience.

2024 has been a landmark year for Annie Taylor, featuring a standout performance at SXSW in Austin, Texas, marking their US debut. Additionally, they recorded a session with the iconic Seattle radio station KEXP, further solidifying their international presence.

Annie Taylor’s journey from Zurich’s underground clubs to the stages of Europe’s and the US’s biggest festivals is a testament to their talent and dedication. With “Inner Smile” marking a new chapter in their career, the band is poised for even greater success in the coming years, continuing to push the boundaries of their music.
