Oliver Pinder

Indie sensation Oliver Pinder and his band are set to make waves with their biggest headline show yet on Friday, 28th February 2025, at the iconic Brudenell Social Club in Leeds. This landmark performance promises to be a night to remember, as the band pulls out all the stops with a fresh new set and a captivating production. Don't miss out on this electrifying show—Oliver Pinder and his explosive full-band line-up are ready to for their biggest show to date.Starting his artistic journey afresh by adopting a new creative approach after an artistic hiatus, Oliver Pinder has since transformed his sound from its dark, indie-folk roots into an eclectic mix of guitar-driven alternative anthems. Encompassing the earnest lyricism of artists Matilda Mann and Jeremy Zucker, as well as the driven guitar instrumental layers akin to that of Wunderhorse and Bleachers, Pinder’s music captures the anxieties of today’s younger generation.Following his return to the music industry, the 22-year-old Wakefield based artist unleashed his debut EP entitled Potential, I Guess? in May 2023. Focussing on the struggles faced by twentysomethings venturing through adulthood, each song of his first record details Pinder’s attempt to navigate unknown sonic territory whilst remaining true to his song-writer roots. Having been featured by the likes of BBC Radio 6 and BBC Introducing, Potential, I Guess? includes the singles ‘Stressed’, ‘Beautiful Second’, and ‘Late July’, with each release receiving critical acclaim following their publication. His EP release also coincided with the announcement of a UK tour, which Pinder and his full-band line-up, consisting of lead guitarist Morgan Lindley and drummer Harry Stobart, embarked on as soon as the record became available. Future full-band performances will also feature two new additions to the artist’s explosive line-up, as he introduces bassist Michael Tuck.Following the success of his first instalment of headline shows across the country, the band have played festival stages at The Great Escape, Barn on the Farm, Humber Street Sesh and Long Division. Pinder embarked on his biggest headline tour to date in February 2024 concluding at 350 capacity Leeds venue Belgrave Music Hall. Pinder is also working towards his first longform mixtape which sees his sound develop into much heavier realms than his debut record, proving that he is not just a one-trick pony.With a widely celebrated first EP and selection of sell-out shows in some of the UK’s most notorious grass-roots venues under his belt, the future appears promising for indie’s future sensation, Oliver Pinder.
