Corella

Buzz phrases are often thrown around frivolously when it comes to new and emerging artists. However, when it comes to describing the immaculate rise of Manchester's CORELLA, applying them feels more than justified.  Performing together since meeting at university, the band's compliment - consisting of Joel Smith (vocals), Jack Taylor (guitar), Ben Henderson (bass) and James Faw (drums) - professes a message of youthful confidence in exploring what it is to grow up in the UK today, meting out the challenges thrown their way with a united front and positive mindset.  The music reflects this by blending gorgeously tropical indie-pop tones with emotive lyricism, alongside a stunning live performance that compliments the band's energised delivery beyond what one might consider possible given their young years.
