Airways

Airways, an indie rock band hailing from Peterborough, UK, has made significant strides in the music scene since their formation in 2016. The band consists of Jake (vocals and guitar), Alex (guitar), Jamie (bass), and Brian (drums). Their journey began serendipitously when Jake met Brian in Los Angeles, leading to the formation of the band just two months later in Peterborough. This unique origin story set the stage for their dynamic and committed approach to music-making.

In their early days, Airways quickly gained recognition by performing at prestigious festivals like Reading and Leeds before even celebrating their first anniversary. Their dedication to honing their craft is evident in their relentless practice sessions and songwriting efforts. The band’s ethos, “rather die trying to make it than die not trying to make it,” reflects their commitment to their musical journey and resonates with their growing fanbase.

Airways has supported a diverse array of artists, including Nothing But Thieves and The Hunna, showcasing their versatility and appeal across different audiences. Their debut EP, co-produced by Nothing But Thieves’ guitarist Dom Craik, features standout tracks like “Ghost Town” and “One Foot,” which have received airplay on Amazing Radio and BBC Introducing shows, further solidifying their presence in the indie rock landscape.

With a sound that draws comparisons to Arctic Monkeys and Cage The Elephant, Airways continues to evolve, aiming to create music that is both distinctive and relatable. Their upcoming projects and performances, including showcases at SXSW, promise to elevate their status as a formidable force in the indie rock genre, captivating audiences with their energetic live shows and innovative sound.
