Maruja

Maruja, the UK-based band, stands at the vanguard of the nation’s thriving art rock and art punk scenes. With roots dating back to 2014, the group has carved out a powerful identity through their innovative melding of genres, offering a fresh outlook on contemporary jazz-rock. Their reputation for dynamic live music experiences is continually reinforced by headline appearances, most recently at Rescue Rooms in Nottingham in November 2025, where they took centre stage as headliners.

The band’s relentless creativity is reflected in a prolific run of releases, including the highly anticipated album "Pain to Power" set for release in September 2025. Prior to that, Maruja brought out a cascade of singles such as "Trenches," "Saoirse," and "Look Down on Us," each adding a new layer to their exploratory sound. Their discography also features the 2025 EP "Tír na nÓg," as well as earlier standout singles like "Break the Tension." Maruja’s music bridges the intellectual edge of art rock with the defiant energy of punk, providing listeners with boundary-pushing compositions and thought-provoking lyrics.

Looking ahead, Maruja will headline an event at the renowned 100 Club in London in September 2026, a testament to their growing stature within the UK live music circuit.
