About Sin Savers
Formed in the gritty underbelly of Manchester’s vibrant music scene in the late 2010s, Sin Savers quickly carved out a niche with their distinctive blend of post-punk revivalism, indie rock anthems, and a dash of gothic introspection. Comprising frontman Alex Thorne (vocals, guitar), Maya Singh (bass), Liam O’Connell (lead guitar), and Chloe Davies (drums), the band’s initial EPs, “Urban Decay” and “Neon Ghosts,” garnered critical acclaim for their biting lyrics and propulsive rhythms. Their sound is often characterised by Thorne’s searing vocal delivery, O’Connell’s intricate yet powerful guitar work, and the formidable rhythm section of Singh and Davies, which lays down a foundation both melodic and relentlessly driving.
Their breakthrough moment arrived with the release of their debut album, “Echoes in the Dark,” featuring fan favourites like “Concrete Heart” and “Lost Generation,” tracks that became staples on alternative radio and quickly cemented their reputation for crafting potent, memorable hooks. Sin Savers are renowned for their intense and immersive live performances, where every note is delivered with conviction and every chorus becomes a communal shout-along. Their most recent offering, “Spectral Bloom,” saw them experiment with more atmospheric textures while retaining their signature urgency, proving their artistic evolution without compromising their core identity. Expect a setlist that traverses their impressive back catalogue, showcasing the journey of a band that continues to push the boundaries of the alternative genre.
