The Original and Ultimate Tribute to the classic UK Britpop era.

Named after the classic Bluetones Britpop anthem, Marblehead Johnson, paying tribute to the British Britpop music scene, Marblehead bring the recreated Britpop hits up-to-date in a powerful combination of passion and quality akin to the harder-hitting sound that the bands produced in their live shows.

Playing songs from Blur, The Bluetones, Paul Weller, The Verve, Ocean Colour Scene, Supergrass, Pulp and, of course, Oasis, glory in the anthems that brought British alternative rock into the mainstream.

We're a 4 piece Rock band from Oxfordshire and have been playing our original music across the country for the last 2 years. Our initial intention was to be a 90's grunge cover band but we quickly realised that our own material more than stood up against the covers we were playing.

Since then, our lineup has evolved and we were thrilled to recruit Jim Crosskey (lead guitarist from 90's legends Unbelievable Truth) earlier this year who has taken our sound to the next level!

We're now gearing up to recording our debut album next year and we'd love to share this at your festival in 2025!
