About

Hampshire, UK-based Abandon Ship! are a nostalgic indie rock with anthemic group vocals and catchy hooks. The
band was born in 2017 when old friends Luke Burywood (Vocals/Guitar) and Jordan Baggs (Lead Guitar/Backing Vocals) reconnected in the hinterland of Basingstoke, England. Drawn to the spit, grime and alternative music scene of now-defunct rock bar Sanctuary, the pair were soon to co-opt Martin Sylvester (ex-Mary Kelly) to drumming duties with Clayton Deakin (bass) completing the line-up.

Taking inspiration from the music and ambitions of Foals, The 1975 and Japanese House, while absorbing influences as diverse as Death Cab for Cutie, Sticky Fingers, American Football and PUP, Abandon Ship! are determined not to place limits around their emerging sound. The band have been busy raising their profile at live dates throughout 2019; at Tramlines Fringe Festival and most recently on tour alongside TUYS. Previously the band have provided support to Larkins, Milk Teeth and Muncie Girls in front of sold-out crowds.
