Headwired
4 musicians. One shared obsession. And absolutely no intention of staying small.
Meet the Band
FROM EMPTY PUBS TO SOLD-OUT ROOMS
Headwired's story isn't exactly an overnight success.
Jack started the band back in 2018, with George joining shortly afterwards. But when lockdown hit, the original lineup fell apart, leaving the pair playing covers to backing tracks in local pubs.
The dream of becoming a proper originals band never disappeared.
Drummer Joe arrived in 2023, bringing fresh energy and kickstarting Headwired 2.0. Frankie completed the lineup in 2025, giving the band the chemistry they'd been searching for.
Fast-forward to a sold-out 10-date UK tour and an unexpected invitation to support Shed Seven at Glasgow's iconic Barrowland Ballroom.
Not bad for two lads who refused to pack it all in.
Press Play · The Live Experience
ONE GIG. THAT'S ALL IT TAKES.
Some bands are best experienced through headphones. Headwired reckon you need to be standing right in front of them.
Big guitars, infectious energy and songs built to turn first-time listeners into lifelong fans. Or, as the lads put it, fans into superfans.
Their 10-date UK tour sold out in less than two months, proving that word is spreading well beyond the Black Country.
Then came an unexpected email from Shed Seven's Paul Banks, leading to a support slot at Glasgow's legendary Barrowland Ballroom.
Next on the wishlist? Molineux, The Hawthorns, Anfield and the Pyramid Stage at Glastonbury.
Nobody's accusing Headwired of lacking ambition.
The Sound
BIG GUITARS. BIGGER IDEAS.
Think Oasis swagger, Foo Fighters power, Arctic Monkeys attitude and a healthy dose of The Stone Roses.
Headwired wear their influences proudly, but they're not interested in becoming somebody else's tribute act.
George brings the songs and lyrics into rehearsal, where Jack, Joe and Frankie add their own ideas, instincts and musical chemistry.
The result? Guitar-driven indie rock built around relatable lyrics, big melodies and messages that connect with people wherever they're listening.
Not just songs about what happened down Wetherspoons on a Friday night. Their words, not mine 😀
Their ambition is to write music that means something far beyond the Black Country.

What's Next
THE DEBUT ALBUM HAS A LOT TO LIVE UP TO
Headwired aren't interested in setting modest targets.
Their next ambition is to create a debut album that can sit comfortably alongside Oasis' Definitely Maybe and Arctic Monkeys' Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not.
No pressure, then.
But after years of changes, setbacks and playing to almost empty rooms, the band finally feels like everything has clicked.
The songs are taking shape, the chemistry is stronger than ever and their growing fanbase is giving them every reason to believe.
Ask where they want to be in a few years?
Britain's biggest new rock band.
And eventually, the biggest band in the world.
Might as well aim high.

🎸 SNAP DECISIONS — Broken guitar strings have made a few solos considerably more interesting.
🤝 SUSPICIOUSLY HARMONIOUS — They've genuinely never had a band argument. Weirdos.
📸 FAMOUS-ish — The lads are starting to get recognised in public. Autographs next?
🎹 HOT TAKE — Frankie's favourite Arctic Monkeys album is Tranquility Base Hotel & Casino. Brave choice.
🚐 VAN BANGERS — Kula Shaker's Good Money and Shed Seven's Disco Down are road-trip essentials.
🎧 THE ONE THAT GOT AWAY — The song they wish they'd written? Foo Fighters' The Pretender.
👨👩👦 BLAME THE PARENTS — Their musical tastes were inherited. Britpop for Jack and Joe, classic rock for George.
😎 GOOD VIBES ONLY — Outside of music? Friends, family, having a laugh and keeping things positive.
The Serious Bit (briefly)
MORE THAN JUST THE MUSIC
For Headwired, the real reward isn't just selling tickets or playing bigger venues. It's connection.
Writing songs that mean something to people, whether they're listening in Dudley or on the other side of the world.
They also recognise how important the grassroots music community is, particularly when independent venues and emerging artists need support more than ever.
Their own journey proves that progress rarely happens in a straight line.
From lockdown setbacks and empty pubs to sold-out shows and sharing a stage with Shed Seven, they kept showing up because they believed in what they were creating.
No ego. Just evolution.
That's something I can get behind.
Congrats - you've made it this far
That means you should probably listen to the music
