The Poms are a heavy indie band from the East of England, quickly building a reputation for energetic live shows and an ability to electrify crowds. They blend multiple genres, including 90s wall-of-sound alt-rock, 2010s introspective Midwest emo, and iconic British indie. A recent lineup change brings a heavier sound and high-octane live performances, making them one of the most exciting new prospects on the UK indie scene.
