ABOUT

Hailed as 'Jessie J meets Joan Jett' FRANCIS (formally known as Emma & the Idles) are an indie rock band based in London, U.K. made up of front woman and singer songwriter Emma Withers, guitarists Alex Scott, Stefan Kotlarz and bassist Craig Rattray. With a balls to the wall approach to their sound and sharp songwriting style, they have regularly been compared to the likes of Wolf Alice and Florence + the machine. Each song will smack you in the face in a slightly different way, and whilst they float between genres of alt, rock, indie, pop, soul and blues; they show an unrelenting penchant for dramatic, powerful and meaningful music.

With a fresh rebrand and new music on the horizon, 2022 will be a significant and exciting year for these guys. Stay tuned…
