Forming in February 2017, then a four-piece under the name FORREST, the band’s first full year together saw them go from strength to strength, playing venues across Liverpool, such as O2 Academy, The Magnet, Studio2 Parr Street, The Zanzibar and East Village Arts Club. Supporting artists such as Otherkin, Spinn, Headclouds, Vistas, Husky Loops and many more often on their national tours. The three members’ different personalities and musical tastes make the band far more than the sum of its parts.

With their ‘American Football-esque melodies’ and ‘low-fi indie sound’, Husband Material’s music draws upon a wide range of inspirations, from the likes of The Smiths, The Cure and The Stone Roses to Nirvana, Smashing Pumpkins, Jimmy Eat World and Tigers Jaw. Creating a sound with ‘clear influences’ but ‘a more contemporary vibe’.

2018 proved to be a successful year for the trio, as the played their first gigs outside of Liverpool and released their debut single, Luna, which received positive reviews and radio play. ‘Effortlessly deliberate … simplistic lyrics’ and ‘intricate music’ that sets a ‘chilled atmosphere… keeping listeners on the edge of their seat’.

After the encouraging reception of their first release and future releases currently being worked on, confidence is high in Husband Material, gathering momentum.
