History

Description

Marseille mark their return with 'History', a heartfelt, ambitious, and a downright ballsy single which will be sure to be the focal point of any indie-rock playlist you have this year. The single will drop on 24th January 2025 across all major streaming platforms, accompanied by a limited edition run of 250 7inch records. 'History' is a track that really tugs at the heartstrings, a song that is a love letter to the dreams we all had as children, being remembered as a legend of your era. But all the while having that big beat in-your-face swagger that Marseille naturally carries around wherever they go. A gorgeously well-crafted song which is excellently brought to life by Wolf Alice's producer Michael Smith.

Singer Will Brown said this about the single:

"History is a simple song which applies to any young person with big aspirations, it's probably the most personal to us as a collective as we fit that criterion. We are 5 young lads that want our legacy to be remembered, and that is one of the most special things that anyone can ever write about."

About Marseille:
Hailing from the depths of northern Derbyshire, Marseille is a five-piece indie rock/shoegaze band making waves in the UK music scene leading the charge for the musical revival the whole world needs. At an average age of just 19, the group--featuring Will Brown (vocals), Joe Labram (lead guitar), Lennon Hall (guitar), Will Sabey (bass), and Tom Spray (drums)--has already completed a successful UK tour, selling out 150-250 capacity venues.

Marseille have laid down the foundations for an eye catching 2025 after 2 years of grafting, playing encapsulating shows and doing things differently to everyone else musically. Waves of psych, groove and emotion make sure the audience never has a moment to lose interest. They carry a free zero-fucks given swagger which is a breath of fresh air in the modern-day music industry.

Over the past year Marseille have made some remarkable achievements such as:

• Sell out UK tour across ten 200-250cap venues
• Gig at Manchester Academy 2 in front of 900 fans in November 2024
• Supported the Bluetones at Lancaster, Kanteena (600cap)
• Played notorious festivals such as YNOT Quarry Stage (4,000) and Isle of Wight (1,000)
• Championed by Steve Lamacq of BBC Radio 6 - "They've got psychedelic sunshine beaming down on them. "
• John Kennedy of Radio X - "There's a lot of buzz around them on social media and you can see why."
• Clash Magazine - "Epic early-Verve esque majesty blowing hearts and minds wherever they play"

The band are also continuing to build a close relationship with Pretty Green which is something to keep your eyes on over the course of 2025.
