Purple Thread are a 4 piece glitter-drenched rock n' roll band known for their eclectic brand of blues infused guitar pop.
The songs of Purple Thread announce the arrival of a new force in rock. Irresistible on the dance floor, unflinchingly honest, all bonded together by a darkly joyful cynicism - an unfiltered look at life is the very spirit of Purple Thread. Always armed with an element of surprise and a catchy riff or two up their sleeve, Purple Thread promise to deliver one thing: one hell of a good time.
The band formed in Leeds with singer/guitarist Liz Mann, guitarist Jack Tildsley, bassist James Foreman, and drummer Ryan Bailey bonding over a passion for classic rock, and decided to throw in a generous splash of colourful indie disco and dreamy guitar into whatever they got their hands on. A string of captivating singles and their fevered live shows earned them a diehard fanbase and eventually led to signing with Monomyth Records in 2019.
With 40,000 streams on their single Gimme More, their latest single Easy Livin’ being named Track of the Week by BBC Introducing, winning Amazing Radio's Audition competition, and a single launch co-hosted by Gus from alt-J, the band is going from strength to strength and showing no signs of slowing down.
Audiences are strongly advised not to forget their dancing shoes.
