Looking for a new favourite UK pop band to latch on to? Well, check out VICTORS!

Hailing from Leeds and labelled as the “ones to watch” in 2019 by BBC Introducing, the band have recently celebrated hitting No.28 in the UK commercial pop charts.  

VICTORS consists of Harry Waterhouse (Vocals/Keys/Guitar), Simon Appleson (Guitar/Synth), Dominic Brooks (Bass/Synth) and Leon Davies  (Drums). Each member grew up listening to a variety of different artists ranging from Whitney Houston, Phil Collins & Crowded House to Wu-Tang Clan, Metallica & Black Sabbath.

“We also got played on NFL in America which is what gave us our first little break and started our fan base there.”

With the band taking influence from the likes of Two Door Cinema Club to Prince, VICTORS’ 80’s inspired, vibrant synth pop vibe continues to evolve and mature with every release.

 

Since forming in 2016, Victors have already achieved over 1.4 million Spotify streams on their debut single, ‘Tonight’ and 3 million streams on overall combined platforms. Their music has since gained support from large brands such as BBC Introducing, Radio 1, Hollyoaks, This Morning, Spotify playlists, Nordstrom, Costa Coffee , Pizza Express and Topshop worldwide. They have also had in-house playlist endorsements from a number of other high street stores. 

“A personal favourite gig has got to be playing Penn Festival on the main stage last summer. It was by far the biggest stage we’ve ever played on in our careers to date and we got to share it with some big bands such as Kaiser Chiefs and Manic Street Preachers.”
