GANS

GANS are a two-piece from the West Midlands, UK. GANS met whilst at college. There they shared their individual passions for music, books and art. GANS was born. Rehearsals and a period of intensive song writing began in late 2023. Uncompromising…Making noise they enjoyed…Music for themselves…Music with a message Thomas Rhodes (bass/guitar/synths/vocals) and Euan Woodman (drums/vocals/synths) brought a melting pot of influences ranging from big band jazz to country to techno to punk…open minds with a love of good music regardless of genre. 5 self-released singles followed on the bands own HOT DAWG RECORDS from November 2023 to November 2024. A ferocious, self-controlled universe making all the elements of their output including artwork and videos. Radio plays followed. Spotify & Apple Playlists picked up on the band. Strap Originals (independent label owned by Peter Doherty of The Libertines & Babyshambles) decided to sign the band after catching them at a DiY show the band put on in a 2nd hand vintage clothes store in Birmingham. GANS debut album ‘GOOD FOR THE SOUL’ was released in September 2025. Produced by Ross Orton (Arctic Monkeys/The Fall/Amyl & The Sniffers) in Sheffield, UK. The album produced 4 singles which were all playlisted on BBC 6 Music – including 2 BBC live sessions. KEXP in USA also supported the band with multiple plays. Press support followed from Rolling Stone and Clash amongst many others in the UK & EU. 2025 saw the band play over 150 live shows. Playing club shows and festivals all over the UK & Europe. They toured with Big Special, The Libertines, Ekkstacy, GOAT. GANS built a reputation as a band you must see live. Incendiary shows filled with noise, love and dancing. That’s what GANS fans keep coming back for. GANS live does not stop with over 120 shows planned for 2026 including all leading festivals – they have already toured the UK & Europe with The Vaccines, Big Special and The Pixies.
