Formed in Derby in 2021, young indie-rock band Marseille are bringing the party to the North East. Drawing from a diverse set of influences from the 90s Madchester scene, to psychedelia and 60s Merseybeat. With a line-up of Will Brown, Joe Labram, Lennon Hall, Tom Spray, and Will Sabey, the band have made it their mission to challenge the expectation to fit into one genre. With punchy guitars and thrumming bass beats, their sound blends multiple genres to create something new that showcases every member of the band. (Kate Relton)
