Corella

Buzz phrases are often thrown around frivolously when it comes to new and emerging artists. However, when it comes to describing the immaculate rise of Manchester's CORELLA, applying them feels more than justified.

Performing together since meeting at university, the band's compliment - consisting of Joel Smith (guitar & vocals), Ben Henderson (bass & vocals), Jack Taylor (guitar) and James Fawcett (drums) - professes a message of youthful confidence in exploring what it is to grow up in the UK today, meting out the challenges thrown their way with a united front.

The music reflects this by blending widescreen alternative indie tones with emotive lyricism, alongside a stunning live performance that compliments the band's energised delivery beyond what one might consider possible given their young years.

These sentiments have earned them an ever-growing rapturous and loyal fanbase, resulting in numerous sold-out headline tours of the UK, and captivating appearances at the likes of Reading & Leeds, Kendal Calling, Truck, Latitude and Neighbourhood Festivals.

With the release of their debut album "Once Upon a Weekend" in May 2024, off the back of a string of releases that have earned them millions of streams, and their biggest headline UK tour to-date, the realisation of this bona fide North of the UK success story is only set to continue.
