The Zangwills are a UK based Indie Rock band from Cheshire. The band members are Jake Vickers (vocals & guitar) Sam Davies (lead guitar) Ed Dowling (bass) and Adam Spence (drums) they formed in June 2017[1], releasing their first single, New Heights in December the same year.

Background

Jake Vickers, Ed Dowling and Sam Davies met while attending Sir John Deane's College in Northwich they were joined by drummer Adam Spence who was a former school friend of Jake's. They recorded their first demos while studying at the college playing their first gig together on 3rd June 2017 at a small festival near Chester.[2]

The band’s debut EP, It’s Really up to You was released on 3rd September 2018. The Horrors of Sobriety was released as a single on 30th March 2018,[3]. The next single Patio Paradise also gained media praise.[4]

The band release their music independently but work closely alongside AWAL the independent Artist division of Kobalt Music Group.

The band's choice of name has raised many queries as to how they chose it, [5][6] frontman, Jake Vickers, has explained that it's the name of a street in Greenwich, London where his sister once lived.

Reception

The Zangwills have been described as fitting, "smoothly into the era of early noughties indie-rock fronted by Arctic Monkeys with other sounds coming through of The Courteeners."[7] The band have also been described as being, "like nothing else out there, an immensely valuable quality when so many bands disappear into a slurry of sameness."[8]

Live

Their headline dates have included Manchester Academy, Gorilla and Chester Live Rooms. The band played their first Scottish date at Sneaky Pete's[9][10], Edinburgh in January 2019 and their first London date on 22nd May 2019. Their support slots have included artists such as Yungblud[11] and a satellite support for The Charlatans at their North by Northwich[12] takeover event in May 2018.[13] [14][15] The band played Northwich again Christmas 2018.[16] The Zangwills have also shared a stage with Fun Lovin' Criminals[17] and played at Rivfest, the Warrington Music Festival created in memory of Viola Beach.[18]
