Pyncher

About

Pyncher are a high-energy, genre-blurring quartet from Manchester, quickly establishing themselves as one of the UK’s most electrifying acts. The band—Sam Blakeley (vocals/guitar), Harvey O’Toole (lead guitar), Jack Rainbow (drums), and Britt Dewhurst (bass)—are more than just a group of musicians; they’re a tight-knit family. Best friends since childhood, with Jack and Sam knowing each other since before they could walk, their unbreakable bond infuses every note they play, both in the studio and on stage.
Their sound is a vibrant mix of vintage 50s/60s pop (think The Beatles, Harry Nilsson) and the raw, rebellious energy of modern garage rock (The White Stripes, The Cramps). But it’s their live shows that truly set them apart. With an undeniable chemistry that’s felt as much as heard, Pyncher bring an intensity and authenticity to the stage that has crowds in a frenzy—spinning, moshing, and losing themselves in the music. Every performance feels like an unforgettable experience, one that leaves fans begging for more.
Pyncher aren’t just a band; they’re a force in the making. Their passion for innovation, combined with their shared sense of humor and camaraderie, is propelling them toward something huge. With attention from tastemakers like Steve Lamacq, Radio X, Radio 6, and the NME, plus the backing of cultural icons like Damien Hirst, it’s clear the buzz around them is only growing. They’ve shared stages with the likes of English Teacher, Geese, Maruja, Courting, and more, further solidifying their place in the UK’s thriving live music scene.
Pyncher’s rise is just beginning—expect them to leave a lasting mark on the music scene very soon.
