Passive Fix are a three-piece rock band from Birmingham, UK, blending fierce determination with consistent releases and energetic, unforgettable live shows. Carving a path into the rock mainstream with their unique twist on the genre, they fuse flowing vocal lines, aggressive guitars, unrelenting grooves, and their signature saxophone melodies — a bold combination that sets them apart from the crowd.
Founded by songwriter, vocalist and saxophonist Alex McCarthy, Passive Fix took shape in 2022 at The Royal Birmingham Conservatoire, later evolving into their current line-up with David Kirkham on drums and Sam Stringer on guitar and backing vocals. Their music draws influence from the likes of Boston Manor, Thornhill, The Plot In You, Turnstile, Normandie, Acres, Mouth Culture, Movements, Dead Poet Society, and Twenty One Pilots, with a sound that merges ambitious songwriting and modern rock intensity.
Since restructuring into a three-piece in late 2023, Passive Fix have rapidly built momentum, growing from a small local following to over 25,000 combined followers across Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube, with more than 3.5 million accounts reached in the past 90 days alone. Their active global fan Discord boasts over 160 members, and they've clocked up over 180,000 streams and 23,000 listeners on Spotify in the past year.
On stage, Passive Fix have earned a reputation for delivering highly professional, high-energy performances in intimate venues, completing a successful UK headline tour in 2024 and supporting renowned acts including Sick Joy, The Futureheads, and Battlesnake. Their debut EP, released in April 2025, marked a major milestone with their highest tour ticket sales to date, accompanied by a full music video campaign for every track.
Relentlessly active online, the band produces daily content across social platforms, promoting their music, personality, and brand identity. Upcoming plans include a series of stand-alone singles, a live studio session, and a UK tour in November 2025, with an anticipated EP and tour already in the works for early 2026.
With each release and live show, Passive Fix continue to push boundaries, grow their community, and cement their place as one of the UK’s most exciting new rock acts
