Very little has stood in the way of young North Shields artist Sam Fender and his rapid ascent throughout 2018. Having toured the UK and Europe relentlessly, building himself a loyal, passionate army of fans, Sam writes honestly and candidly about subjects of social and generational significance, broadly drawn from his experiences growing up in the North East of England.

Sam wraps his pertinent words in rousing, propulsive, arena-sized guitar anthems and delivers them directly with a cavernous, powerful vocal. His debut EP ‘Dead Boys’ is a mighty statement of intent, recorded just a stone’s throw from the River Tyne.
Having already supported some of the biggest names of recent years, and smartly cultivated hundreds of thousands of listeners globally, Sam Fender seems destined for a huge 2019.
