Stepford Wives + Egotist – Friday 5th September 2025 | Sunbird Records, Darwen

Sunbird Records presents Stepford Wive and Egotist.

Stepford Wives

Hailing from North West England, Stepford Wives are a 6 piece alternative/indie rock band.

Their debut EP All On Me was championed by legendary DJ Janice Long on her BBC national radio show – and this led to a full appearance for the band on Sky Sports Soccer AM.

Since then Stepford Wives have gone on to build an impressive following around the UK playing headline slots – with notable main supports to the Buzzcocks, the undertones, Big Country, half man half biscuit, the chameleons and many other stalwarts of the alternative/ indie rock scene.

The respected alt music magazine louder than war say Stepford Wives live shows demonstrate “intense stage presence, critical wit and a compelling blend of post‑punk, art‑rock and psychedelia”

Egotist

Emerging from the claustrophobic confines of Manchester’s basement bars and venues, Egotist invite you to explore the heart and indulge in a melancholic vulnerability that is unorthodox for the modern Manchester indie genre. “

The Manchester outfit’s new track aligns somewhere between Nick Cave and The National with eerie piano notes and ethereal vocals creating a deep, dark and spiritual experience.” – RGM Magazine 

“The already well-known soothing female back vocals and piano accompaniment take centre stage, followed by majestic drums like thunders in the sky, and Prior’s striking vocals, coming up as heart-wrenching than ever.” – Right Chord Music 

Having played shows alongside the likes of ARXX and Lorelle Meets the Absolute, for Pentatonic Magazine and some of Manchester’s more experienced independent promoters, Egotist bridges the gap between rock and indie.
