Demob Happy is a Brighton-based alternative rock band, making waves with their gritty and energized style since their formation in 2008. Comprised of vocalist and bassist Matthew Marcantonio, guitarist Adam Godfrey, and drummer Thomas Armstrong, the trio originated in Newcastle before relocating to the seaside town that has become synonymous with nurturing innovative British music. Their sound weaves together the raw edge of grunge with catchy melodies and garage rock undertones, marked by Marcantonio's distinctive vocal delivery and the band's collectively potent musicianship.

Earning a reputation for their raucous live performances, Demob Happy has built a dedicated following with a series of acclaimed releases. Their catalogue, flourishing with tracks like "Honey, You're A Dead Man" and "Sweet & Sour America," portrays a band unafraid to tackle both the personal and political within their lyrics. Notable ventures, including a Demob Happy Remix of "I LOSE WHATEVER I OWN," showcase their playful exploration of sound and genre. With an experimental verve, they delivered the lush "Hades, Baby (Orchestral Version from Abbey Road)," reflecting their versatility and willingness to reinterpret their own music. As they continue to evolve, stand-out singles like "Divine Machines" and "Sympathy Boy" affirm Demob Happy's place in the modern rock scene, creating music that resonates with authenticity and raw power.
