Hailing from Leeds, UK, self-produced Gen-Z quarter Artio are comprise of lead vocalist and lyricist Rae Brazill (they/them), lead guitarist Rob Arkle (he/him), rhythm guitarist Jai Akhurst (they/them), and drummer/producer Ieuan Jones (he/him).

Formed in 2018, A The group forge ferocious and incendiary electronica-infused alt-rock anthems taking inspiration from fellow genre-defying trailblazers Twenty One Pilots, PVRIS and Skrillex to craft their sound. The band zealously adhere to a DIY ethos – self producing all their material, directing their music videos and hand making their stage outfits.

Signed to Slam Dunk Records in 2021, their cathartic ‘Pyrokid’ EP garnered praise from BBC Radio 1, Kerrang, Rock Sound and Upset for its modern and nuanced take on a coming-of-age record. This release saw the band explode in popularity on TikTok after lead single 'Product Of My Own Design' deeply resonated with the platform's queer and trans communities. Since its release in May 2023 the EP has amassed 3.6 Million streams on Spotify alone.

Their debut album ‘Babyface’ is a highly ambitious, emotionally charged story of growth, change, transition and evolution, accessible to anyone determined to break toxic cycles and bury their past self in attempts to grow. Since its release in March 2024, it has garnered 2.2 Million Steams streams on Spotify, and over 400+ physical sales.

Artio have toured the UK and mainland Europe with the likes of VUKOVI, Honey Revenge, Mothica and Lake Malice, having also performed at a number of high-profile festivals such as 2000 Trees, Slam Dunk Festival and Burn It Down Festival – with upcoming slots at Download Festival and The Great Escape in 2025.

It was recently unveiled that vocalist, Rae, would feature on a track with As It Is as part of their debut album re-release, ‘Never Happy Ever After’ out April 2025.
