Hailing from Sheffield, The Rosadocs have made a huge impact on the indie scene with successful headline tours and support slots for artists such as Madness, The Sherlocks, The K’s, The Clause, Gerry Cinnamon, The Reytons, and many more.
About to embark on another headline tour for This Feeling which is on the verge of selling out, and with a coveted place on the bill at this year’s Tramlines Festival, The Rosadocs’ recently released new single premiered on national radio, which has earned the band further recognition on Radio X with support from John Kennedy.
With continued support from BBC Sheffield, Backseat Mafia, This Feeling and many others, the momentum is rapidly gathering pace for The Rosadocs, with much more exciting music and events on the horizon soon to be announced.
VIVAS are the Sheffield based band consisting ofJames Wilson on Lead vocals/rhythm guitar, Tyler Savage on Lead guitar/backing vocals, Kane Ibbertson on Bass/backing vocals and Keaton Barker on Drums.
Although only formed in the past year, VIVAS have already achieved so much as a band bringing a positive and highly infectious approach to their music. VIVAS are a classic Indie Rock band that bring the energy and attitude in abundance making for some great music and some pretty high octane live performances too!
Live performances so far have seen them play to a sold out Sheffield’s ‘Sidney & Matilda’ and ‘The Leadmill’, and they have already embarked on their first UK Tour selling out venues in cities such as Leeds, Glasgow and Manchester.
In their first year VIVAS released an impressive total of 3 singles, being ‘Sweet Talker’ in March, ‘It’s Alright’ in July and ‘Feel’ in November. All 3 singles were received with a warm welcome from fans old and new as well as from press and radio from the likes of BBC Introducing, Amazing Radio and the Sheffield Star as well as gaining the band in excess of 40k streams on Spotify alone.
Following on from this success, VIVAS decided to make a bold statement move and to try something entirely different by releasing their own re-worked version of undoubtedly one of the biggest hits in mainstream music of recent years; by covering ‘As It Was’ originally by Harry Styles.
Following up on the success of this VIVAS are now ready to release their follow up single, ‘Out To Get Me’.
‘Out To Get Me’ starts off with echoing, almost haunting opening lyrics which are quickly joined by crashing rhythmic drumming as the track picks up pace. The lyrics are poignant and feel like there’s a real story being told here. The chorus hook of “It’s really no surprise they’re out to get me” is really belted out and is followed up with blistering guitar solos, making this overall a really anthemic track.
The band have said of the new single:
“‘Out To Get Me’ is a song that is all about suffering from anxiety. It is the most lyrically driven song we have done to date as it embodies someone who feels like the whole world is watching them wherever they go, and everyone is out to get them.”
‘Out To Get Me’ was recorded by the band at West Homesick Studios in Sheffield and was Produced by Federico Telesca.
VIVAS have already undertaken a UK Tour this year which saw them play a Sold Out show at The Leadmill Sheffield with The Lottery Winners and this summer will also see the band perform on The Leadmill Stage at Tramlines Festival and supporting rock legends Def Leppard and Motley Crue at The Lytham Festival.
All in all 2023 promises to be a massive year for this young band as they continue to make huge waves on the music scene.
Upcoming Gigs/Tours –
Bramall Lane supporting Def Leppard and Mötley Crëw.
MARPLES are the young Sheffield based indie rock band consisting of Joseph Neville on lead vocals and rhythm guitar, Thomas Martin on lead guitar, Joseph Kneale on bass guitar and Luke Fieldsend on drums.
Formed in August 2021, the band started life by performing at local open mic nights. Realising they were onto something special, they then spent time perfecting their sound by gigging as much as possible and enjoying some prolific support slots as well as their own sold out headline shows at the likes of Network Sheffield.
In 2022, MARPLES took the decision to release their first official music into the world in the form of their ‘In The Attic’ EP which comprised the tracks ‘One For Their Own’, ‘Once More’, Misled’, and ‘Misfortune’. Both ‘Once More’ and ‘One For Their Own’ were picked up by Sheffield Wednesday FC and were played to the crowds during matches at the world famous Hillsborough Football Stadium.
MARPLES are now excited to be gearing up for the release of their follow up single ‘I’ve Been Shown’
It is a jointly composed track which is heavily inspired and incorporates the band members’ wide range of musical influences. The 3.34 min upbeat indie track is filled with jangly guitars and fast paced yet harmonised vocals from the get go leading effortlessly into the catchy chorus hook lines, which simply belt out that this is a classic indie anthem of epic proportions!
The band have said of the inspiration of behind the track:
“From first hearing the track in the early days from when we were writing it, I had the melody already in my head. I wanted to make the riff catchy to really make it stand out, so I decided to make the sound of the guitar more sustained, giving it more punch…. The meaning of the track is really all about the journey we’re on as a band and the trials we’re on as we try to make it to the next level. There’s always going to be someone trying to pull you down and tell you you’re wasting your time, but you’ve got to persevere and hopefully with any luck you’ll get the last laugh.”

The band have said about their decision to record ‘As It Was’:
“The biggest inspiration behind recording As It Was – we wanted to cover the most popular song in modern Pop music and give the song a big Indie/Alternative Rock makeover. We were keen to keep the song’s recognisable structure, but give it a completely new lease of life by giving it a balls to the wall attitude that many Indie Rock/Alternative Rock fans can gravitate towards.”
Listening to the track, yes it’s got that instantly recognisable melody there, but don’t let that fool you as very quickly a much heavier and rockier sound bursts forth. The track rushes along at pace with a euphoric crashing of drums and some serious guitar riffs that’ll have you jumping around in utter abandonment. This track is going to go down an absolute storm when performed live.
‘As It Was’ was recorded by the band at West Homesick Studios in Sheffield and was Produced by Federico Telesca.
VIVAS are set to go on a UK Tour this Spring which sees them play a Sold Out show at The Leadmill Sheffield with The Lottery Winners and this summer will also see the band perform on The Leadmill Stage at Tramlines Festival and supporting rock legends Def Leppard and Motley Crue at The Lytham Festival.
