The Optimists

The Optimists are a four-piece indie rock band from the Isle of Wight. They include frontman Matt Read, lead guitarist Aaron Meakin, drummer Jacob Cass, and bassist Henry Bolton.

To date, they have supported indie royalty in Rosellas, The K’s and The Kairos, so let’s see what they have been up to:

The brashness of early Idlewild and the feral melodies of Seafood emerge alongside a unifying hopefulness. It allows the underground to emerge from the shadows and the mainstream to retake a step towards credibility.

The relentlessness of The Silver Lines comes alive in this startling single. Vibrant and poignant, The Optimists are blessed with the intense joy and melancholy that all great coming-of-age bands possess.
