Stanleys

Stanleys are a UK indie band creating melodic guitar music rooted in strong, collaborative songwriting and lived-in storytelling. Their songs blend jangly guitar lines, subtle grooves, and accessible hooks with lyrics exploring everyday moments, youthful restlessness, and the quiet emotional details of modern life. All four members contribute to the songwriting, combining their individual influences and experiences into a cohesive sound. Frontman Tom Concannon delivers the vocals with warmth and clarity, while Jake Dorsman (guitar), Harry Ivory (bass), and Rob Hilton (drums and backing vocals) underpin the music with tight, dynamic musicianship. Stanleys' rise has been driven by their reputation as a live band. Through extensive touring, they have sold out multiple cross-country headline tours, performed at festivals including Glastonbury's Strummerville Stage, and shared stages with artists including Richard Ashcroft, The Libertines, Inspiral Carpets, The Lathums, Jamie Webster and The View. These appearances have helped them build a loyal and growing audience beyond their home region. With momentum continuing to build across streaming platforms and the live circuit, Stanleys are increasingly being recognised as a band capable of connecting with audiences nationwide.
