MARPLES BIO 

Marples are an exciting, youthful, and prosperous band whose introduction to the music scene began in September 2021 as they formed and began to create music. The band consists of 4 members: Joseph Neville (lead vocals and rhythm guitar), Thomas Martin (lead guitar), Joe Kneale (bass) and Luke Fieldsend (drums), a late addition who joined the founding trio in July 2022. Each member has grown up being influenced by, and indulging in different genres across the entire music industry. This positively reflects on their musically output whether it be Thomas’ smooth and elegant, shoegazey influenced guitar lines, or the slick and emphatic indie rock sound of Joe’s basslines. The band work well to compliment each other in ways which are refreshing and unique.

Starting out, the band managed to land and successfully perform at multiple open mic nights and gigs supporting other bands at local Sheffield venues. Continuing forward with both their performing ability and creation of new material, 2022 saw the band’s official streaming debut with their EP In The Attic. With recording experience under their belt , 2023 saw the release of their debut single “I’ve Been Shown”, which followed after a headline gig at popular Sheffield venue Record Junkee. The song rose to be their most popular track to date. Expanding to exciting, bigger venues and supporting some brilliant artists, their second single “Friends” which released on 1st December rounded off a fantastic year for Marples.
