My New Band Believe

My New Band Believe are an English rock band performing at Band On The Wall in Manchester, presenting their self-titled debut album on a headline show. The act was formed in 2025 by a former member of Black Midi.

My New Band Believe is an English rock band formed in 2025 by a former member of Black Midi, the group in which the artist was bassist and sometimes frontman before that band split in 2023. Blending art rock and experimental rock, the project released its self-titled debut album in 2026, and the record has been named in Album of the Year lists by The Fader, Pitchfork, The Guardian, Clash, Time Out and NME. The album is presented as a sprawling, dreamlike work that moves between very different emotional and thematic territory.

The debut features a group of musicians including Kiran Leonard, Caius Williams, Steve Noble and Andrew Cheetham, who contribute alongside the band's founder. The founder took on the role of bandleader after the earlier group ended, and the album was shaped in the studio before the project took its current form.

Band On The Wall is a live music venue on Swan Street in the Northern Quarter of Manchester, hosting mainly concerts with a focus on pop, rock and indie. This headline show is the band's largest in the city so far, in support of the debut album.
