Rising Wigan Indie-Rockers Montello Share New Single ‘Suit & Tie’

Rising Wigan based indie-rock quartet Montello return with the breezy new single ‘Suit & Tie’. 

Formed in late 2023, the band have quickly built momentum with appearances at The Great Escape, Isle of Wight Festival, Tramlines, and Sound City in summer 2025, all achieved in just over a year and a half of the band being together.

Working with producer Luke Owens, the new single ‘Suit & Te’ both captures the fluorescent, youthful flare of the band’s live sound while displaying mature, memorable songwriting. Built around jangling guitar tones, tight drums and grounding bass, the track captures a bubbling indie accessibility comparable to The Vaccines, whilst bringing an undertone of The Stone Roses.

Speaking about the track, the band explain: “Suit & Tie is a song dedicated to the struggle of creative minds around the world. 

Since starting this band we’ve seen the peaks and troughs of the music industry, and we all share a burning desire to keep Montello moving forward – none of us want to quit our passion despite the amount of artists and venues struggling in the current climate, none of us want to sit behind a desk instead of doing what we really love, none of us want to die in a suit and a tie.”

April 2025 saw Montello release their debut EP, marking a major milestone in the band’s rapidly accelerating journey. Since then, the bands have been making waves, playing shows across the UK, earning airplay on Radio X, and selling-out performances at iconic venues such as Manchester’s Deaf Institute.

Their latest single, ‘Suit & Tie’ continues that momentum, showcasing the band’s sharp songwriting and emotive edge. With more new music on the horizon and a growing reputation as a formidable live act, Montello show no signs of slowing down, and are quickly cementing themselves as one to watch.
