Our story so far
Rising from the ashes of a once thriving but now forgotten fishing town, HEALER are an Alt-Indie quintet, consisting of Steve (vocals), Dave (guitar), Joel (guitar), Tony (bass) and Jazz (drums). HEALER are a band that let their music do their talking.
Since their inception in 2022, HEALER have swiftly climbed the ranks of the local music scene and, through their magnetising performances at some of the UK’s best grass roots music venues as well as supporting Britpop legends ‘Sleeper’ and Welsh Indie-Rockers ‘Trampolene’, they have captivated audiences and amassed a loyal following. HEALER’s self-released music has been played regularly on
BBC Music Introducing and Amazing Radio UK/USA, and, as well as being championed by TV personality and comedian Lloyd Griffith, HEALER have also been featured on This Feeling’s ‘Best New Bands’ playlist, cementing them as one of the most exhilarating new bands of 2023.
Their first release of 2024 (Wake Me Up) made it onto Amazing Radio’s ‘Hot New Indie’ playlist and became This Feeling’s ‘Track of the Day’. HEALER’s second release of 2024 (War) received its debut radio play on Charlie Ashcroft’s audition show on Amazing Radio and received several plays from Jericho Keys’ BBC Introducing show on BBC Radio York and Humberside.
“This is my favourite tune so far from HEALER, very relatable.”
“I hear lots of bits in the song as influences and every single thing I really like, top work lads.” - Jericho Keys, BBC Introducing
2024 also saw HEALER play a string of UK festivals and shows, which saw them play alongside Razorlight, Frank Turner, Feeder, The Twang, Jake Bugg, Ocean Colour Scene, Embrace, Tom Meighan, The Farm, The View and The Lottery Winners.
HEALER’s emergence from the derelict docks of Grimsby has only just begun. With new music written and ready to release, 2025 will be the year for HEALER to prove that sometimes, when a tree falls in the forest, it does make a sound.
