Airways is an indie rock band known for its energetic live performances, having toured with artists like Nothing But Thieves and The Hunna, and for their distinctive sound that blends indie pop-rock sensibilities with thought-provoking lyrics. After performing at the renowned Reading and Leeds festivals within their first year in 2016, Airways, comprising Jake (singer/guitarist), Alex (guitarist), Jamie (bass), and Brian (drums), rapidly solidified their position as an energetic and distinctive indie rock act. The band swiftly earned a reputation for captivating live performances, having since supported a roster of acclaimed artists on multiple sold-out UK tours, including Nothing But Thieves, Sunset Sons, and The Hunna. Their initial offering, ‘Ghost Town,’ released in early 2016, a track reflecting on societal shifts and technology’s impact, swiftly gained significant momentum.

The EP was further distinguished by key collaborations with acclaimed producers, including Dom Craik, the esteemed guitarist from Nothing But Thieves, and Julian Emery, celebrated for his extensive work with artists like Nothing But Thieves and Lissie, collectively elevating Airways’ sophisticated and distinctive sound. Airways capitalized on this momentum with a highly successful headline UK tour in February 2017, where their confident and dynamic live shows captivated a rapidly expanding fanbase across the country. This growing national profile culminated in their pivotal American debut at the prestigious SXSW festival in Austin, Texas, in March 2017, effectively showcasing their compelling international appeal and stage prowess.
