A sextet hailing from the postal areas of Sunderland, England - Social Room champion an anthemic ‘in your face’ sound that is reminiscent of the UK’s most loved indie rock n roll bands.
Led by the captivating frontman Matty Smith, 2018 has seen the band really come into their own. The well-received EP ‘Brightstar’ was produced by none other than Dave Stewart of Eurythmics fame, and a number of festival performances have seen the band share the main stage with the likes of Happy Mondays, Kaiser Chiefs, and Ash.
Currently amongst the critically acclaimed ‘This Feeling’ roster of bands, the lead EP track ‘Brightstar’ was recently awarded the TF single of the week on Gordon Smart’s Radio X show. Having just played a sell-out hometown show in-front of 400 raucous fans, the band will see out 2018 with a number of nationwide tour dates with popular mod revivalists ‘The Spitfires.’
With the same tour to roll on into early next year, 2019 is already shaping up to be a busy year for the band, affirming Social Room as one to watch in 2019.
