History

Seek Irony in 2016

Seek Irony was formed in 2000, among others, by brothers Kfir & Rom Gov who stated that writing songs in English was a natural progression for them due to the fact that they spent their childhood studying at American schools as a result of their father being an Israeli diplomat.[2]

In 2004, the band embarked on their first music tour abroad.[2] In 2005, the band signed a recording deal with American producer Sylvia Massy, who works with System of a Down, Red Hot Chili Peppers and Tool, who invited the band to record their album at RadioStar Studios in California. Upon finishing their album in 2006, the band earned publicity in several newspapers and music magazines both in Israel and abroad. In April 2007, their hit "Tech & Roll" was featured in "The Best Damn Sports Show" on the Fox Sports channel.[2]

In 2008 the band signed a recording deal with Aksel Records and released their first single "Everything We Are" which was written in cooperation with a Lebanese singer, Rav Zgiev. Both lead singer Kfir Gov and Rav Zagaiev published blogs on Seek Irony's MySpace page in which they described the events which lead up to their cooperation.[2][3]

On February 3rd 2015, the band released their debut album Tech N' Roll.[4] In 2016, the band received the award for best album at the North American Independent Rock Music Awards.[5]

Musical influences

In a 2016 interview, lead singer Kfir Gov, stated that he was influenced by Infected Mushroom, Borgore, J.Views, Prodigy, Nine Inch Nails, and Pendulum.[5]
