“We want to make people feel like they belong. We want to make people dance. We want to change the world - even if that’s just one person’s world for three-and-a-half minutes.” That’s Island Club’s mission, according to frontman Michael Askew. “And we want to do it with damn catchy pop songs.” 
 Sharing this vision are Julien Forsythe-Lewis (guitar, keys), Sam Cantlon (drums), Barney Cox (keys) and David Blowers (bass), who met at university and who now all share a house in Brighton. They’re equally influenced by Tame Impala's dense psychedelic wigouts as the razor-sharp groove of Earth, Wind & Fire and the shimmering pop nous of The 1975. 
 Island Club have been streamed more than 3 million times and tipped for big things by the likes of CLASH (“Gorgeous, bleached out indie pop... packed with pop aspiration.”) and Dork (“A sunny dose of upbeat synth-pop… heaps of fun.”), as well as BBC Introducing and Amazing Radio. 2017 saw them selling out their biggest headline show to date at The Haunt in Brighton and sharing stages with the likes of Fickle Friends, Model Aeroplanes, Marsicans and Dream Wife.
