ABOUT THE BAND:
Despite being just 18 years old, Stockport-based ‘TRP’ have taken the indie music scene in their stride. Selling out 3 consecutive headline shows in Manchester since they first set out as a band, including the most recent at Manchester Academy 3 in March 2023, ‘TRP’ have now proven their grit across the UK with sold out shows for their first ever headline appearances in London, Sheffield and Glasgow, as well as a packed crowd in Leeds before their final show of the year, which sees a return to Manchester – this time at Band On The Wall on Friday 8th December 2023.
The previous single, ‘Better Man’ brought ‘TRP’ to the national eye earlier this year, reaching Number 1 on the iTunes Rock Chart, and Number 14 in the iTunes Official Chart. This proved to be a monumental point, kickstarting this band’s ongoing rise as one of the hottest new-coming acts in the country.
