Formed in the West Midlands during the latter part of 2020, Finding Bella are the five piece indie rock band consisting of Oli White on Vocals/Guitar, Simon Black on Guitar, Ben White on Keys/Synth/Vocals, Liam Hadfield on Bass and John Woodward on Drums.

From their very inception the band simply burst onto the Birmingham music scene, quickly gaining traction and fans by performing at iconic venues such as the O2 Academy and The Sunflower Lounge.

Releasing their debut single “Good Right Now” in February 2022 (42,572 Spotify streams) which was nominated for ‘Crags Radio Listeners Choice Single Of The Year’ the band released two further singles in the same year, “Set It Off” in July 2022 (45,933 spotify streams) & ‘Drama Kids’ in September 2022 which went onto win ‘Switch Radio’s Single of the Year 2022’. The band also came third in ‘Radio Wigwam’s Band Of The Year 2022 awards’. 

2023 saw  the band continue on their upwards trajectory with the release of the first single ‘The Feeling’ from their upcoming EP ‘Bad Intentions’.

‘The Feeling’ with its melodic verses and echoing lead lines was a hit for the band gaining them airplay across the globe not only in the UK, but in France, Canada, America and Australia and praise from press such as:

“Don’t miss this chance to be part of the musical revolution brought to you by Finding Bella. Stay tuned, because greatness awaits!” – Babystep Magazine 

Finding Bella are now gearing up for the second single to be released from their upcoming EP, the politically charge rousing anthem of ‘Albion’ 

‘Albion’ is a musical middle finger to establishment, offering a ‘matter of fact’ yet overdue commentary on life in Britain to a crowd that is already in agreement, comfortable in the knowledge that they are sharing the same experiences that the band are able to recite so fluently. Built-in references to political corruption, corporate greed, and social media influence within the song’s lyrics add a level of level-headed maturity to what could wrongly  be perceived as youthful insubordination.

Finding Bella’s equally built-up passion and frustration bursts throughout the track, pulling listeners in from its early kick drum beat, and gritty bassline. Raw guitar sounds build further authenticity to the track’s sound, supported by the meaningful lyrics that sound as if being shouted through a megaphone to a cheering crowd outside any  building of authority.

‘Albion’ was written collectively by the band and was mixed and produced by Ryan Pinson at RML Studios, Wolverhampton and Mastered by Andy Baldwin from Metropolis Mastering.

The debut EP from Finding Bella entitled ‘Bad Influences’ is a collection of five brand new tracks including ‘The Feeling’  and ‘Albion’ which is scheduled for release on the 29th September.
