Maruja

They’re the UK’s most charismatic band, their live shows a spiritual experience uniting the crowd in free-flow jams of uncategorisable music. Think post-punk meets free jazz, with lyrics, rooted in rap, that are all about the message. Add the hair-raising sonics of ruthless breakbeats, gnarly guitar loops, transcendent sax and flourishes of psychedelic bass and you have Maruja: this is force-of-nature music, born from a place of spirituality and protest, with a deep four-way friendship at its core.

Their reach is international – beloved of BBC 6 Music, they’ve just stormed SXSW, Sold out their first ever North American tour.

Having played 24 countries in 2024, this May they have just announced a tour going from Japan, China, Europe and N. America.

Now signed to Music For Nations, the band have just announced their debut album ‘Pain to Power’ which is out on 12th September.

“ I really can’t put into words personally just how exciting a band like this is in the current musical paradigm."

‘needle drop - Anthony Fantano’

"Looking back on how those three days of music went \[at SXSW\], none of the sets have stuck with me like Maruja’s. I’m so thrilled they’re with us."
