About

Fusing the raw energy of early 2000’s Indie Rock with sparkling, pop ready production and a relentless live show championed by the likes of BBC, Paradise Circus are on track to take the UK by storm in 2025. Consisting of David Purchase (Vocals), Callum Cartwright (Guitar), Joshua Taylor (Bass) and Young Drummer of the Year finalist Christian Woolley the band are setting themselves up to explode onto the national scene.

From shows at Camper Calling and 2 mainstage slots at Camper Jam and Camp Bestival (playing alongside the likes of McFly and Rick Astley) to their packed out O2 Institute2 headline and support shows with Sundara Karma, Master Peace and BILK; Paradise Circus look to once again up the ante with upcoming appearances at YNOT, Dot to Dot and Fuse festival already secured alongside recent shows with The Mercians and SOAP in Birmingham.

The brand new single Icarus embodies the all too familiar frustration of wanting to do more with your life and taking that leap, even if it burns you out in the process. Whether that’s the rut of your job, wishing you had more money or feeling left behind. It’s a feeling we all experience in our own way and Icarus is that powerful segment of us who does take that leap-despite knowing the consequences. 

The thumping kick drum and foreboding snare sets the stage for an explosive intro where the earworm of a guitar line wraps around the synth lead before the vocals go on to lay the story of the song. The chorus ignites into life with one of the catchiest choruses you’ll hear all year with roaring vocals and running bass lines. It’s a tune to get any crowd excited.

Having previous singles hailed by the likes of BBC Introducing, BBC Radio 6 and Amazing Radio as well as glowing reviews from the likes of NME, CLASH and EARMILK, it’s a sure sign that Paradise Circus are one of the most exciting new bands to emerge over the past few years.

“Paradise Circus, a group who are embracing optimism and a dose of unrelenting confidence”.
