Issey Cartlidge (bass, backing vocals) said: “Playing live rock’n’roll is what we live for and we’ve racked up more than 600 shows in the last five years. As well as the UK, we’ve toured Europe, Asia and the East Coast of America — it’s really about time we got to LA, home of everyone from The Byrds to The Go-Go’s. Can’t wait to see you there!”

The teen siblings Issey and Mathew Cartlidge (lead vocals, guitar) along with drummer Noah Riley, have built their reputation the hard way — through relentless touring, explosive live shows, and more than 600 performances before even releasing their debut album.
The band have earned support slots with the likes of The Libertines, Sex Pistols, Blondie and Iggy Pop, along with public support from Green Day, and this year they hit arena stages on tour with Yungblud. Their UK headline tour, Welcome to Urbia, launches in September.
In the UK, Wasted On Youth debuted at No. 3 on the Official Albums Chart, backed by a string of major moments including a prime-time ITV1 performance and an appearance on The Jonathan Ross Show. Critics on both sides of the Atlantic have been quick to take notice.
Across Europe, the band have delivered prime-time TV performances in France (Taratata, Le Quotidien), secured major editorial coverage, and earned strong radio support across multiple territories. Spain has embraced the band with major festival bookings, while Italy has already seen two sold-out headline tours, further cementing their growing international footprint.
