An underground madchester act.
Stanleys are an emerging UK indie band known for melodic guitar-driven songs that balance classic influences with a modern, relatable edge. Built on jangly riffs, subtle rhythms and memorable hooks, their songs are written collaboratively, blending the ideas of all four members to explore everyday experiences, youthful uncertainty, and moments of quiet reflection. Alongside frontman Tom Concannon, Jake Dorsman (guitar), Harry Ivory (bass), and Rob Hilton (drums and backing vocals), Stanleys have developed a reputation as a dependable and engaging live act. Extensive touring has seen them sell out consecutive headline shows, perform at festivals including Glastonbury’s Strummerville Stage, and support artists including Richard Ashcroft, The Libertines, Inspiral Carpets, The Lathums, Jamie Webster and The Royston Club. With growing audiences across the UK, Stanleys are steadily establishing themselves as a band with genuine national reach.
Stanleys play melodic guitar-driven indie pop and rock infused with strong Madchester and 1990s Britpop influences.
