The Cheap Thrills
Still just about in their teenage years, The Cheap Thrills’ achievements stand out above the rest in Liverpool, playing rammed headline 02 Academy shows, winning the coveted Liverpool Sound City Youth Live Award and playing the Calling Out stage of Kendal Calling. Since, the band has played gigs in several successful stints in London, as well as supporting breaking international touring bands. “Messy tumble of garage rock and nifty turn of phrase, a blast live too.” The Guardian.
Waiting Till Marriage are Adam Johnson (Guitar/Vocals), Brandon Tew (Guitar/Keys), Liam Brady (Bass) and Ieuan Kearney (Drums). Breaking into the scene in mid-2021, the band had spent the last year and a half polishing their live set and perfecting their sound and in the summer of 2021, released their debut single. Taking influence from world music and the likes of Peace, The Vaccines and Rex Orange County, Johnson tells stories of heartbreak in an almost joyful manner alongside Tew’s imaginative playing style, Brady’s uplifting bass lines and Kearney’s distinct drive making WTM the fresh outstanding quartet they are.
