About Me

SANDWEAVER
"Epic, Melodic, Well-groomed Indie" - NME
This melodic Worthing four-piece will inject you with a dose of well-crafted and highly contagious Indie Pop. With a refreshing combination of uplifting 3 part harmonies, electronic guitar parts and captivating lead vocals, the results are undeniable!
You can now find sandweaver turning heads across the country playing venues such as London’s Storm - Leicester Square, The Clapham Grand, West One Four, Brixton Jam, The Vibe Bar, Joogleberry Play House, Concorde 2 and Pressure Point Brighton, Brighton Barfly, Audio, universities in London and Sussex with supporting slots on various tours. Past supports have included:
Texas
Bloc Party
Finley Quay
The Dykeenies
Ida Maria
Shaun Ryder
Pellumair
Brakes
Mani (Primal Scream/The Stone Roses)
As this Worthing band’s popularity gains momentum, the passionate, melodic and unmistakeable sounds of Sandweaver are being received with nothing but enthusiastic review.
"They could comfortably rub shoulders with the best" - West Sussex Gazette
"Masters of well-crafted Indie Pop" - Evening Argus
"Sandweaver take you on a journey through the light and dark of the current Indie scene in a way that is both unique and accessible." - LOUD magazine
"Moving on up" - etc Magazine
"The indie foursome proved they have the song-writing and musical talent, the ability, the professionalism and the look to be up there with the big names. The only question is when will they be snapped up by the music moguls?" - Worthing Herald
