MARSICANS

“When upbeat indie meets dirty pop” is how the Yorkshire four-piece defines their tunes. Already having headlines the BBC Introducing Stage at Leeds Festival and done many more shows in the summer circuit, they will be rocking up to our very own Stylus on November 30th, and with their debut album in the works, it’s not one to be missed.
