Florentenes

Florentenes are quickly becoming a vibrant force in Manchester’s music scene. Fronted by lead vocalist and songwriter Will Smith, the band features Luke Holding on lead guitar, Harry Stubbs on bass, and Liam Fiddy on drums. What began as bedroom jams between Will and Luke has blossomed into a powerhouse band with a distinctive sound. In just a year, Florentenes have shared stages with acts like Seb Lowe and The Ks, performing at festivals such as Right to Roam. They’ve sold out many shows locally and are rapidly growing a loyal fanbase and are currently in the studio making their debut album with legendary producer Dave Eringa (Jamie Webster, Manic Street Preachers, The Who) Florentenes aren’t just performing—they’re creating a movement. Their electrifying live shows and undeniable talent are making them the next big thing to watch in Manchester’s colourful music scene.

‘The love children of the Arctics’ and The Strokes that sometimes like to slow down for a cocktail in

the lounge…!’ The band the UK music industry has been waiting for – insanely talented, insanely young, and cool

as! No clicks, no autotune, no nonsense, just massive songs recorded live and allowed to breathe like the records of old, but sounding like the records of tomorrow!’
