Amber Run

Amber Run is a British indie rock band formed in Nottingham. The group is composed of Joshua Keogh (vocals, guitar), Tom Sperring (bass guitar), and Henry Wyeth (keys). Keogh, Sperring, and former member Will Jones were friends from Buckinghamshire and played in an alternative rock band. They moved to the University of Nottingham, where they met Felix Archer and Henry Wyeth. The band initially started as Amber but changed their name to Amber Run to avoid confusion with a Dutch singer. They left their university studies in their second year to concentrate on their music career.

Their career progression began significantly with an appearance on the BBC Introducing stage at Reading Festival in 2013, which was only their fourth live performance. This exposure led to a contract with RCA Records. In 2014, Amber Run released their first EP, “Noah.” This was followed by additional EPs, “Spark” and “Pilot.” The band released their debut album, “5am,” in April 2015 via RCA and Sony Music Entertainment. Felix Archer departed the band in early 2016.

In 2017, Amber Run released their second album, “For a Moment, I Was Lost,” through Easy Life Records. This was followed by “The Assembly” EP in 2018. The band’s third album, “Philophobia,” was released in September 2019. In 2021 and 2022, they released a trilogy of mini-albums: “The Search (Act I),” “The Start (Act II),” and “The Hurt (Act III).” Their most recent full-length album, “How to Be Human,” was released in February 2023. The band has collaborated with artists such as Freya Ridings on a rendition of their track “I Found.”
