Since forming in 2024, The Intransigents have thrilled audiences with their unique cinematic blend of post-punk, psychedelic jangle and garage rock at shows in London and the SE.

Fronted by charismatic vocalist and lyricist Benny Crossroads, the band includes Mark Leech (bass), formerly of mod-psych legends The Onlookers, Dave ‘DC’ Clark (guitars) and Phil ‘Freezer’ Pinch (drums). Leech, Clark and Pinch all featured in retro-janglers Thee Moot and freakbeat rockers The Transients.

The Intransigents will promote their new EP with a string of live dates throughout the rest of 2026, including the Half Moon, Putney (Nov 18) and The Dublin Castle, Camden (Dec 16), while working on new material for release in 2027.

Line Up

In 2026, the band joined forces with producer Morgan Nicholls (Muse, Vent 414, The Who) to record their 4-track Kosmische EP at Decatone Studios in Twickenham. This was released digitally on High Tide Records in August 2026 and is available at: https://mirlo.space/the-intransigents

The featured single from the EP, Ungodly, showcases the band’s widescreen sound and live energy, while the title track, Kosmische, celebrates their love of both 1970s German music and psych folk, in a truly original confection. These tracks have already featured on Brooklands Radio (Andy Robertson) and Breeze FM (Alan May).

Songs and a sound that live somewhere between indie folk, shoegaze and psychedelic rock. Atmospheric guitar and harmonica, sibling harmonies over hypnotic drums and bass.

The Past Tense are a 3 piece 60s/70s Garage/ Mod/Punk influenced band from Kingston on Thames. Recently revived and ready for action.
