Sharp Class

Sharp Class is a British power trio from Nottingham known for their energetic fusion of punk, soul, power-pop, Britpop, and rock ’n’ roll. The band, consisting of Oliver Orton (guitar and lead vocals), Billy Woodfield (bass), and Declan Mills (drums), formed in 2020 and quickly gained recognition for blending the swagger of the swinging sixties with the grit of modern rock. Their music combines catchy, driven power-pop songs with witty, realistic lyrics, creating a sound that’s both nostalgically vintage and refreshingly contemporary.

They have released two albums and several singles, including fan favorites like "Tales Of A Teenage Mind" and "Welcome To The Matinee Show (Of The End Of The World)." Sharp Class has performed extensively, headlining festivals such as Splendour, touring the U.S., and earning praise from notable bands like Green Day. Their live shows are celebrated for high energy, passion, and a sharp, tight sound that connects deeply with audiences.
