ASHFIELDS are an exciting five-piece indie pop band from the dark corners of Nottingham. The lads
have already achieved a sell-out EP launch show at Nottingham’s famous venue ‘The Bodega’,
reached the finals of Firestone Battle of the Bands which saw them play at Birmingham arena
before Biffy Clyro and Brand New. They have also played to a sold-out Rock City supporting The
Sherlocks and are currently on the way to their own sell out show at Rescue Rooms.
ASHFIELDS fan base is vastly growing, racking up over 3250 Facebook likes in less than two years,
over 100,000 accumulated Spotify listens since April 2017 and over 25,000 YouTube views in the
last several months.

ASHFIELDS formed late 2015 with Louis, Carl, Thomas, Boam and Josh. Originating from the small mining towns of Sutton-in-
Ashfield and Kirkby-in-Ashfield, the band started when cousins and guitarists Carl and Tom decided there was more to the
town than pillaging and carjacking. Within months of forming and writing music the lads saw themselves out of the local pubs
and into the heart of Nottingham, supporting bands such as Amber Run, All Tvvins, The Sherlocks, Judas, King No-One,
Redfaces, Teleman and many many more. The boys saw themselves in 2016 break the record for a band for most number of
support slots in one year between Bodega and Rescue Rooms (16 Times), this helped the band sell out their own show in April
2017 and move up to a headline show at Rescue Rooms in December 2017 (close to another sell out).
ASHFIELDS have been branded as the most hard-working band to brace Nottingham, their efforts to market themselves and
their shows is incredible for an unsigned band with no management. They were known for bringing more people to shows
than the bands they were supporting and now being on a very short list of unsigned Nottingham bands to sell out the Bodega,
and now close the a repeat at Rescue Rooms.
Festival season 2017 was ASHFIELDS first real taste at the festival scene, starting with Nottingham’s famous Dot to Dot
Festival. Dot to Dot 2017 saw ASHFIELDS open main stage Rock City for the likes of Amber Run, Sundara Karma, The Big Moon
and many more. To get main stage across 42 different stages and venues was a big deal and saw the start of ASHFIELDS being a
regular to bigger capacity venues.
Festival season didn’t stop with Dot to Dot, the band managed to secure a headline slot at Nottingham’s biggest unsigned
music festival ‘Riverside Festival’. The festival is in the heart of Nottingham bringing most of its population to take part in a
firework display and many music tents. ASHFIELDS headlined main stage on the Saturday evening, bringing in huge crowds of
stunned music fans and even being reviewed as the events major highlight.
ASHFIELDS Released their debut EP titled ‘NEW SKIN’ on April 8th, 2017 with a sold-out show at The Bodega (220 Cap), since
the release the EP has racked up an accumulated 100,000 listens on Spotify with the single ‘Is It Alright Now’ featured weekly
on Spotify’s ‘Discover Weekly’ playlists.
