From the electric heart of Liverpool, UK’s music scene comes Alt / Post-Punk four-piece Bandit. Establishing themselves as contenders with early EP releases ‘Here’s To Being Alive’ and ‘The Good Times Are Killing Me’, the band return in 2025 with the ‘Scandalous’ EP.

Kicking off in March with the lead single ‘Masquerade’, the EP finds the band expanding its palette from initial releases indie / alternative roots and evolving into a darker sound, still based around Nat Waters’ introspective lyrics but now supported by a moodier sonic landscape pushing more to the fore the band’s love of shoegaze and guitar noise.

Previous releases have seen Bandit receiving support from the likes of Radio One’s Jack Saunders, Radio X and BBC Introducing, as well as outlets such as Dork and DIY. The band has built a reputation as a fierce live proposition, touring with artists such as The Reytons, Ist Ist and Deadletter as well as playing sold out headline shows across the UK.

Having previously graced the stages of festivals of the likes of YNOT, Kendal Calling and Liverpool Sound City, 2025 will see Bandit appearing at Stag & Dagger, 2000 Trees and Dot 2 Dot across the summer months, alongside venturing out for headline shows.
