The project Bdrmm originally started out as a bedroom project, hence the name, by lead vocalist Ryan Smith. After having an early demo get picked up by BBC Radio 1,[1] He later enlisted his brother Jordan Smith (bass and backing vocals) as well as friends, Joe Vickers (guitar), Danny Hull (synth and backing vocals) and Luke Irvin (drums).[2] After touring relentlessly, and releasing two self-recorded demo EPs as well as a handful of singles produced for the first time by longtime collaborator Alex Greaves, the band was signed to Sonic Cathedral in 2019. Their official debut EP If Not, When? was released later that year.[3] 2020 saw the release of their debut studio album Bedroom.
In 2023, the band signed with Mogwai's Rock Action Records and subsequently released their second studio album I Don't Know.[4] Influences for this project were drawn from a wider range of sounds, including ambient, trip hop, slowcore, and jazz.[5]
On 28 February 2025 they released their third album Microtonic, which featured more of a focus on electronic music, to positive acclaim.[6]
In addition to the band's album releases, bdrmm have created a number of remixes for the likes of Daniel Avery[7], A Place To Bury Strangers[8], Strange Pink[9] and Andy Bell[10].
