Filmore!

When Filmore! first arrived in the summer of 2022 with the genre-mashing ‘Where’s Your Hall Pass?’ the track was credited to Maximus Filmore, allegedly a school safety patrol officer who frequently took things a little too far – as detailed in the video that accompanied the track. The perpetrator was soon revealed as Max Zanga and the music to be part of a wider project commissioned by the Dublin Fringe Festival. Leaning into the absurdity of the world today with a strong focus on power and violence through the use of immersive storytelling. Zanga received the George Fitzmaurice Award for experimental art for creating an installation that combined striking visuals and imagery while exploring the complexities of youth and nostalgia.

Debut mixtape Filmore! served as a message to witness the absurdity of today’s society using ultra-violent themes in tracks like previously released Fuck ‘Em Up (200k + Spotify streams), pop-punk collaboration Ingrid’s Song, and iconic debut single Where’s Your Hall Pass which were supported by Spotify’s Misfits 2.0 playlist, New Music Friday, The Lockdown and also picked up support from Tidal’s - Rising UK & Hyper Amped along with backing from the likes of The Line of Best Fit, Earmilk, District and Hot Press, granting him the title - “Gen Z Tyler The Creator”. Live appearances included Ireland Music Week, Other Voices and All Together Now as well as performances at curated events across Dublin.

Once again working with his creative partner racecarbed, Filmore! will release a new Idle project via Earache Distrobution later in 2024.

EARMILK "The explicitly fun lyrics draws instant comparison to old Tyler, The Creator" // "Filmore! certainly establishes no limitation"

Alfitude - "Irish talent Filmore! really is about as fresh as they come... this illusive newcomer creates sounds that epitomise the essence of youth in 2022"
