Brief Bio:

The Streetlights are a newly formed, four-piece Indie-Rock band from Manchester. Their "hypersonic intensity" and "stadium-sized riffs" invite comparisons to legacy indie-rock giants The Killers and Catfish and the Bottlemen, while the "romantic existential philosophy" and "raw dejection" in their lyrics evoke the works of Fontaines DC.

Following the March ‘26 release of their debut single ‘Silver Linings’, the band look towards their next number ‘The Overview’, releasing on May 15th, and preparing for their biggest capacity headline show yet at Off The Square Manchester.

Upcoming Shows:

May 23 - Oxford - The Library - Headline ( In aide of Amnesty International)

Jun 12 - Manchester - Off The Square - Headline (Venture Concerts)

Aug 14 - Manchester - Stage & Radio - Headline (Scruff of the Neck - NQ Takeover)

The Overview - May 15th 2026

Written by: Ryan Wynne

Composed by: Ryan Wynne, Matty Garmston, Max Holmes & Owen Marsh

Produced by: SugarHouse (Corella, Pale Waves, Viola Beach…) at Catalyst Studios

Mastered by: Pete Maher (U2, The 1975, Noel Gallagher, The Killers, Katy Perry…)

Soaring riffs, driving rhythm and genuine intensity.

The Overview is a call to action in a relationship going cold, a plea for honesty amid emotional fatigue… “I wanna get off this world that turns too slow”, with the pair getting up high to see their world as it fades away.

The Streetlights’ second release seeks to build on what their debut ‘Silver Linings’ started, and further cement the band as an up-and-coming “must see” in the live indie-rock scene.

Past Release:

Silver Linings - March 20th 2026

Written by: Ryan Wynne

Live Shows

As seen in…

The Streetlights demonstrate that indie rock can be explosively energetic and emotionally nuanced, crafting a track that is as exhilarating as it is thoughtful. From the high-octane instrumentation to the reflective lyricism, the song captures the tension and release of living in an uncertain world, offering listeners a sonic escape and a moment of introspection. As a debut statement, it positions The Streetlights as a band capable of channelling existential unease into exhilarating art, creating music that resonates with the heart and the adrenaline of their audience.”

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, Wunderhorse, and Fontaines D.C, and their M.O. is to create unforgettable, energetic and raw live shows.

The Streetlights released their debut single ‘Silver Linings’ on the 20th of March, 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 evoke the works of Fontaines DC.
