about

Marseille, a young band from Derbyshire creating a fusion of swaggering '90s guitar music with the roaring, experimental sounds of shoegaze. Over the past 2 years Marseille have been releasing a strong body of work and playing killer sets across the UK gaining a cult fanbase and recognition from various media. The band have been featured on BBC Radio 6, Radio X and Soccer AM. They have also played prestigious festivals such as YNOT and Isle of Wight and in the early stages of 2023 the then 17-year-olds embarked on a 10-date, sell-out UK tour. The band have recently played This Feeling’s Big in 2024 in Manchester.

Monkey in the Middle has been a staple in Marseille’s set for two years now and quickly became a fan favourite. The swagger of The Charlatans, The Music, and The Stone Roses flirting with the absolute wall of sound from the '90s shoegaze scene to create an absolute stomper of a piece that will leave your mind blown. Opening with the thunderous bassline and McCabe-esque squealing from Joe Labram’s guitar you know from the first 10 seconds that we’re in for a hell of a ride. The smashing of Tom Spray’s drums kick us into an almost hip-hop level of swagger, yet played with the elegance and agility of jazz. The roaring wall of rhythm guitars supplied by multi-instrumentalist Lennon Hall come in like a full blown storm all setting the scene for the effortlessly cool frontman Will Brown to take the stage with his signature snarl and rasp. The song grooves along until you’re taken out of the moment by percussive excellence by Tom Spray and the swaggering drones coming from the guitars. Quickly, you’re dropped straight back in with a razor sharp solo cutting straight in with the pitch perfect cries of Will Brown declaring “we don't give a fuck what you think!”
