About The Sherlocks

Hailing from Sheffield, The Sherlocks have carved a distinctive niche in the British music landscape with their unashamedly guitar-driven anthems and infectious melodies. Formed in 2010, brothers Liam (vocals, guitar) and Josh (drums) along with childhood friends Andy (bass) and Brad (guitar) quickly garnered attention for their incendiary live shows and a sound that expertly blends the swagger of 70s rock with the urgency of 21st-century indie. Their debut album, ‘Live to Fight Another Day’, released in 2017, stormed the charts, showcasing tracks like the anthemic ‘Chasingaabbys’ and the relentless ‘This Is The Life’. These early singles immediately established their knack for crafting songs that resonate deeply with their audience, creating a potent sense of camaraderie and shared experience.

Their sophomore release, ‘Under Your Sky’ (2019), continued to build on this success, further refining their sonic identity and exploring more introspective lyrical themes. Tracks such as ‘NYC’ and ‘Ocean’ demonstrated their growing maturity and songwriting prowess, while still retaining the high-octane energy that defines their live performances. The Sherlocks’ commitment to their craft is evident in their consistent output and their unwavering dedication to touring, playing to sold-out venues across the UK and beyond. They’ve built a loyal fanbase through sheer hard work and authenticity, fostering a connection that feels both personal and powerful. With a reputation for electrifying performances, The Sherlocks consistently deliver a show that is both exhilarating and deeply satisfying, proving time and again why they are a band to be reckoned with.
