Hartlepool’s Marketplace have quietly gone about their business becoming one of the region’s best known and hardest working new acts. The versatile indie pop five-piece released their debut EP in October 2024 with tracks like Talking For Hours and Edroom already becoming live favourites along with previous fan favourites Fruit (which received support from Radio 1) and Charlie. Taking influences from 80s new wave as well as contemporaries Alvvays, Martha and Pale Waves, Marketplace blend spiky guitars with soaring girl/boy melodies exploring all the finer issues of coming of age in the 2020s.
