Away Fans are a 5 piece London band blending live instrumentation with sampling and breakbeats, with references from UKG and Liquid DnB.

Away Fans blur the lines between indie-rock and dance, blending the grit of London’s restless nightlife with the rush of a warehouse rave. 

Critics call their sound “infectious dirty dance” (FAME Magazine), “anthemic energy that demands attention” (Record of the Day), and “a cinematic house of mirrors” (Vanyaland). 

After sweat-soaked UK and New York runs, the band continues to bring their high-voltage energy to the basements, dance floors, and fields of the UK, igniting raw emotion, pounding beats, and unstoppable momentum.  

Formed in the early part of the 2020’s AWAY FANS consists of  Tom Fisher on vocals,  Alice Seymour on vocals Alex Boffey on guitar, and synth, David Lewins on Bass and vocals and  Matt Foley on Drums.

Their first single release OF 2026, ‘Perfect Moment’ is an ode to messy nights and hungover mornings with the people you love. It’s a celebration of youthful stupidity and hedonism, as well as the long-lasting connections that get made along the way.

Follow up single ‘Lights Out’ released in June 2026 is a late-night collision of indie and liquid DnB, written for anyone who’s ever gone back when they knew they shouldn’t. The song is about bad decisions and toxic rendezvous. 

“This Is It” demands your full attention. Packed with sonically charged synths and melodic harmonies, the track effortlessly blends nostalgic garage vibes with sharp DnB nuances. There is an undeniable pull here—one that will leave you bubbling on the dancefloor and singing along with pure, joyous wonder. It’s as fresh as a brand-new pair of trainers straight out of the box and as effortless as a classic summer anthem. It just hits right from the very first second.

Away Fans have said of the new track:-

“‘This is It’ is about acceptance of growing up and growing apart. Heavily Sample and breakbeat based, taking influence from UK garage, the track feels like the most truthful thing we’ve written as a band, as well as exploiting further into the more electronic side of our sound.”

Away Fans are Inspired by bands such as The Streets, and take elements of UKG, whilst in- keeping with the current wave of danceable, clever indie from bands such as Wet Leg, Drycleaning, and Getdown Services.

“London’s Away Fans have never been a band to stand still — or let their crowd do the same. [they] swap guitar grit for club sweat, fusing indie-rock bite with rave energy.”Fame Mag

“The result is a sound that is infected with murky post-punk attitude and ‘Madchester’ rave scene style grooves, but with the band’s own London scene grit and determination binding everything together into a tightly packed punch of vibrant engaging music.OBS MAG

“Keeping On” is a cinematic house of mirrors, where self-doubt and inner confidence spiral in lockstep, echoing out loudly and ricocheting across our emotional states as one of the most interesting and engaging tracks we’ve heard in a hot minute.” – VANYALAND

This Is It’ was written collectively by the band and was recorded, produced, and mixed by Harri Chambers at Zigzag Studios.
