Known for crafting music that punches straight at the gut, Sam Fender was born and raised in the northeastern English town of North Shields. He released his debut single ‘Play God’ in 2017, a propulsive, politically charged slice of indie rock that earned him a slot on BBC’s Sound of 2018 shortlist. He followed this with his acclaimed 2019 debut album Hypersonic Missiles, channeling modern-day anxiety through heartfelt heartland rock.
