The Utopiates

Dubbed the band to watch in 2022 by cult indie promoter This Feeling, The Utopiates are a band in full force. Launched in January last year, they are already stacking up the accolades and the backing of legendary BBC Radio 6 Music DJ, Steve Lamacq and have just signed to V2 Records.

Formed under the dark clouds of the pandemic, this is a band that’s confident in their sound and unafraid to push their output to new heights in 2022. No longer recording tracks in frontman Dan Popplewell’s bedroom, The Utopiates have found a new base at the Nave Studios in Leeds with producer Andy Hawkins.
