Manchester’s finest, The Covasettes, are hitting the road this October for a headline tour across the UK! Fresh off a string of sold-out shows and festival appearances, the band is ready to bring their infectious energy to cities across the country.
If you’d asked The Covasettes when they first met at university what they’d expect to be doing in 2024, they could never have predicted what was to come. Fast forward to today and the lads have quite the list of achievements under their belt: sold-out shows across the country, over 8 million streams, and stealing the show at UK festivals and beyond, just to name a few.
They’re continually blown away by how many milestones they’ve passed in just a few years of making music. Most notably including a main stage performance at Truck Festival, sharing the stage with Two Door Cinema Club, The Vaccines, The Sherlocks, Zuzu, The Hara, and more; national radio play on Radio 1, Radio XS and BBC Introducing; and making it on the reputable Spotify Indie List.
The Covasettes’ time spent living together in Manchester allowed them to hone in on their signature indie sound comprising frontman Chris Buxton’s heartfelt lyrics and melody, guitarist Matt Hewlett’s infectious riffs, drummer Matt Buckley’s rock-inspired grooves and bassist/producer Jamie McIntyre’s pop production sensibilities.
Their upcoming tour promises to deliver their best live shows to date thanks to a run of festivals in the UK including Truck, Tramlines and YNot as well as the band’s first European festival in the Netherlands.
With a string of hit singles and a growing fanbase, The Covasettes are a band on the rise. The band recently released single “One Tear at a Time” – Chris from the band said
“It’s a song about the whirlwind of emotions after having a break up, trying to find your new normal and working through it all bit by bit, or as I would say, one tear at a time. It wasn’t our choice to release it as a single but we were forced to by the sheer amount of messages we had from people who had bought our vinyl after they heard it as the bonus track. We are completely overwhelmed by the response and send our sincere thanks to our fans.”
