The Macs
The Macs are a four-piece indie rock band hailing from the coastal city of Portsmouth. Formed in early 2022, they wasted no time making a mark on the UK indie scene, playing their first gig just a month after their first practice session. With a high-energy sound that channels the late 2000s UK indie era, The Macs have carved out their own space, drawing comparisons to bands like Catfish and the Bottlemen, Jamie T, The Kooks, and Arctic Monkeys.
Fronted by Tommy Mac, the band delivers a dynamic, guitar-driven performance that makes you feel like part of the action. Their sound, built on catchy choruses, funky basslines from Jake, and relentless drumming by Dan, creates an atmosphere that resonates with every crowd they play to. The recent addition of lead guitarist Corey marks a new chapter for the band, adding depth and energy to their already infectious performances.
The Macs' live shows are an experience in themselves, pulling fans into the energy of the moment, whether in a packed venue or at one of their sell-out hometown gigs. They’ve already gained attention from BBC Introducing and have hit the top 5 in local charts, including securing the #1 spot for two consecutive weeks. With their growing fanbase, they're quickly becoming one of the most exciting up-and-coming indie bands in the UK.
Their latest single, Notice, released on 28th February 2025, is a perfect example of their craft. Featuring catchy guitar riffs, high-energy vibes, and a chorus that sticks with you long after it ends, Notice is sure to be a crowd-pleaser and further cement their place in the indie rock scene.
With a sound that blends indie rock’s best with a modern twist, The Macs are a band to watch. Keep an eye out for their electrifying shows and the next chapter in their ever-growing journey.
