Extended Bio:
The Streetlights are a new four-piece Indie-Rock band, formed in March 2025 in Manchester by:
Ryan Wynne - Vox & Rhythm Guitar (Manchester/Stockport)
Owen Marsh - Bass (St Helens)
Matty Garmston - Lead Guitar (Hull/Grimsby)
Max Holmes - Drums (Whitehaven)
The band met through a mix of musicians adverts, and encounters at BIMM Manchester, with Ryan and Matty writing together for a year before the others joined the fray. The band’s sound derives from Ryan’s love of the storytelling indie rock music of bands like The Killers, Catfish, and Fontaines D.C, and their M.O. is to create unforgettable energetic and anthemic live shows.
The Streetlights released their debut single ‘Something More’ on the 26th of September, with its "hypersonic intensity" and "stylistic indie chops" inviting comparisons to legacy indie-rock giants The Killers and Catfish and the Bottlemen, while the "romantic existential philosophy" and "raw dejection" in its lyrics evokes the works of Fontaines DC.
The band made their live debut in May at a show in St Helens, and have since played at The Eagle Inn, and Off The Square in Manchester, in June and September respectively. The band recorded three tracks in July, which they are aiming have all released by January, and will be back in the studio with “Sugar House Producers” in December, taking a step up in recording legitimacy.
The Streetlights are looking for booking opportunities to further cut their teeth and expand their audience.

As seen in…
For a debut, “Something More” accomplishes what many bands take years to achieve: a sense of identity. The Streetlights manage to balance vulnerability and swagger, introspection and energy. They’ve taken personal pain and turned it into a shared emotional experience — the true hallmark of great songwriting. As they prepare to tour across the UK, their momentum feels unstoppable. To borrow from critic Amelia Vandergast’s words, “The Streetlights will likely find the ‘more’ they’re lyrically searching for — and that will come in the form of rapturous applause.” If “Something More” is any indication, that applause is already echoing just beyond the horizon..”
