Swindled

Emerging from Sunderland, Swindled has rapidly positioned themselves as a distinctive voice within the UK indie rock landscape. Since their formation in early 2023, the group has steadily built a catalogue that includes EPs such as Counting Sheep (2023), Leave the Big Light On (2024), and the highly anticipated What a Nightmare!, set for release in September 2025. Their singles—including "Right Education," "Honeymoon Period," and "Withdrawal Symptoms"—highlight a knack for blending expressive songwriting with contemporary indie textures. Swindled’s attention to evocative themes and melodic hooks has quickly garnered them a dedicated following among fans of new British guitar music.

On the live circuit, Swindled have shown their versatility and energy, recently appearing at The Gathering Sounds in Stockton-on-Tees in September 2025. There, they performed as part of a dynamic lineup supporting headliner Somebody's Child, sharing the stage with a diverse array of artists. Their festival appearances and consistent output have cemented Swindled as a name to watch, both for their studio recordings and their impactful live music presence.

With anticipation building for their next EP and a forthcoming performance at The Blue Posts in London in June 2026, supporting Sweet Unrest, Swindled continue to draw attention on the UK gig scene.
