overpass

overpass, a four-piece indie band from Birmingham, plays Newcastle University Students’ Union in Newcastle upon Tyne on 29 October 2026. The group sits firmly in the British guitar tradition: two guitars that trade lines and textures, a rhythm section that keeps things tight, and vocals that carry clear, unfussy melodies. Their songs are lean and straight to the point, built on ringing riffs, steady grooves and choruses that land without overstatement. Live, they stack compact tracks and keep the pace up, shifting between driving moments and more open passages while letting the hooks do the work.

Coming from Birmingham’s scene, overpass brings a no-frills approach where the essentials lead: guitars first, rhythm close behind, and lyrics that hit in a few direct lines. The result is indie that feels immediate rather than polished, with enough edge to keep the room moving. If you’re after crisp guitars, tempo and tunes that stay in your head, this set lines up exactly that, delivered by a band that plays it close and lets the songs speak.
