About

The Optimists are a four-piece rock band based on the Isle of Wight. They fuse their Britpop, and other 90’s/00’s influences, but putting a modern Rock sound to top their package, they call this, ‘Brit-Rock’ this makes them stand out from the common Indie/Pop bands you may find from the island/south coast.

Formed in early 2018 these lads have since played the legendary Isle of Wight Festival four times in three years, as well as the BBC Introducing Stage in Southampton, all thanks to their latest single Chase the Sun that got Record of the Week on BBC Introducing Solent.

With plenty of new songs ready to release for 2022 and though critics say rock is dead, these lads think otherwise.
