MARSICANS are a young indie band from Leeds whose driving, harmony-laden sound and exciting live shows are earning them a reputation as an emerging force in British music. The four-piece – three old schoolmates and a friend from the Leeds music scene – released their debut single in 2015 and have worked relentlessly since.
2017 has been the busiest year to date for MARSICANS. They signed to Lab Records and X-Ray Touring; their EP has hit a million plays on Spotify; singles have made the BBC Radio 1 weekly playlist, the opening credits of E4’s Made in Chelsea and were shared online by Coldplay; they played to packed rooms at Live at Leeds, Brighton’s Great Escape, Manchester’s Dot to Dot; and to packed audiences at half a dozen UK Festivals including Leeds Festival.
This autumn, their incessant gigging schedule took them firstly to Europe for the debut album tour from Minnesota’s Hippo Campus, before joining forces with Clean Cut Kid and Jaws for tours around the UK. Full dates as follows:
