Brighton, UK post‐punk band

Emerging from Brighton’s vibrant music scene, Squid have carved a distinctive niche in the world of art punk and experimental rock. Since their formation in 2015, this British group has been celebrated for their boundary-pushing soundscapes and dynamic energy that has captivated discerning listeners and critics alike. With releases such as the 2023 album “O Monolith” and the acclaimed “Cowards” arriving in February 2025, Squid continue to expand the boundaries of contemporary rock music. Their ever-evolving style is also evident in singles like “Fugue (Bin Song)” and the forthcoming “The Hearth and Circle Round Fire,” which further underscore their creative versatility.

Squid’s presence on the live music circuit has been nothing short of compelling. In March 2026, the band headlined BAD VIBRATIONS CLUB NIGHTS at The Shackleton Arms in London, reaffirming their status as an outstanding live act. Their history of support slots includes performing alongside headliner GIRLS NAMES at Moth Club in Hackney—a testament to their ability to engage audiences both as a headliner and as an indispensable part of a larger bill. Squid are set to headline Wanderlust at Heartbreakers in Southampton in May 2026, bringing their experimental energy to an eager crowd and sharing the stage with acts including Scaler and Girl Scout.
