History
Artio was formed in Leeds, UK, in 2018 by Rae Brazill and Ieuan Jones after meeting through the local music scene in Leeds while playing in different bands. In 2019, Rob Arkle joined the band as the lead guitarist. In 2020, the band released their debut single on June 5th, "All Things End," followed by "Hell's Door" on September 4th, 2020, before their debut EP, Stand Alone and Do Your Dance, was released on September 18th, 2020.[2] In 2023, the band was featured in a live session on BBC Music Introducing[3] and featured by BBC Radio 1 'Artists you need to know' by Alyx Holcombe: 'They are on fire! The band that just keeps releasing banger after banger'.[4][5]
In 2021, the band released two EPs, the first entitled Shapeshifter: As Above, and the second being Shapeshifter: So Below.
Towards the end of 2021, the band met Jai Akhurst, originally from High Wycombe, Buckinghamshire, who was brought on board as a session musician throughout 2022 before becoming an official member in October 2022.
In May 2022, the band signed with Slam Dunk Records and would release with them the Pyrokid EP in 2023. This EP contained the single "Product of My Own Design"[6] which garnered the band a large increase in their following due to the song going viral on TikTok.[7][8]
On July 26th, 2023, the band released "Sertraline" featuring STRAIGHT GIRL,[9] alongside the first music video of the Babyface Saga introducing the characters Babyface, March and Lycoris. This story was then continued with the music video for the next single "Wallflower" which came out on September 20th, 2023[10] and was debuted live on their tour supporting South Arcade. "Head In the Sand, Finger on The Trigger" featuring FLASCH was released on November 15th, 2023[11] and the music video would continue the story which would be completed on January 17th, 2024, with the music video for the final single "Babyface." This single was debuted live on tour with As December Falls throughout January 2024.[12] On March 1st, 2024, their debut album Babyface was released. The band then went out on tour with Lake Malice in March 2024, debuting the songs "Temple" and "You Set My House on Fire"[13] live.
The band have been announced to play a run of support shows in 2024 with Honey Revenge in May before playing Slam Dunk Festival,[14][15] the 2000trees festival[16] and Burn it Down.[17]
