unpeople, a project brimming with energy, and impassioned animosity with the state of the world and its effects on humanity. A 4-piece made up of guitarists Jake Crawford and Luke Caley, alongside bassist Em Lodge and drummer Richard Rayner all with a mission to combine earnest lyricism and hefty riffs with catchy melodies and luscious harmonies. They’ve gained high praise from the likes of Kerrang! Magazine (‘A phenomenon waiting to happen’) and Distorted Sound (‘arena-worthy hooks… hellacious screams… gloriously heavy guitars’). unpeople have been nominated for two Heavy Music Awards in 2025 - Best Breakthrough Live Artist and Best UK Breakthrough Artist, having also received a nominatioin 2024. The root of the band's cause is in the name - unpeople - meaning a group of people considered to be politically unimportant or of no value. A determination to channel their discontent into songs that speak directly to other ‘unpeople’. We are unpeople. You are unpeople. We are all unpeople.
