The 139

From Bristol with love, The 139 are a new band to enter the indie scene. With soft melodies and solid licks, Tom, George, Ben and Danny speak for those lost in the middle without a voice of their own.

Not only are they bandmates, The 139 are named after their shared home in Bristol where the boys are constantly writing new music and enjoying each other's company.

​The 139 began in lockdown 2020, when lead vocalist Tom Smee began to write and recorded demos of tracks that would later become the band's first two singles. 'The Past 6 Months,' the band's debut single was released in Sept 2021, creating a splash in Bristol and acting as the pre-cursing for a number of large shows performed by the band.

These shows included a sold out show with Pentire at the Elemental Bakery, a packed night at Art Club market, Sofar Sounds Bristol and support for China Bears at Crofters Rights and Meeking at The Louisiana. The band also received radio play from Adam Crowther on BBC Radio Bristol, stating ‘Huge Track… As a debut, you can’t get much stronger than that… and I love it as a track. I can’t wait to hear what comes next.’

Fast forward to March 2022, the boys are now looking forward to meeting fans, friends and family at their next show at Exchange on 24th March to celebrate the release of Feeling Blue.
