The Inkhearts

The Inkhearts formed in 2010 when the members, then young teenagers, were introduced to each other at a music tuition initiative at The Engine Rooms, Skelmersdale.

Originally a seven piece, it was only when three original members left that we found our own sound and started to write and gig more seriously. With two members aged just seventeen and one aged eighteen and one 19, The Inkhearts’ music screams enthusiasm and teenage energy yet its underlined by a songwriting prowess that transcends our youth.

Our influences are The Vaccines, Two Door Cinema Club and The Libertines, the band are well versed in the art of mainstream indie pop but our intricately layered tracks have got an individualism that sets our sound apart, giving us an identity all of our own.
