Rising Stars Spotlight: Meet The Steelers – Leeds’ Breakout Band of 2024

As we kick off 2025, we’re excited to spotlight one of Leeds’ most promising acts that made serious waves throughout 2024. Meet The Steelers, a dynamic group that’s been turning heads and breaking genre boundaries since their formation early last year.

From Conservatoire to Center Stage
The Steelers’ story began in the prestigious halls of Leeds Junior Conservatoire in February 2024, when founding members Noah Clegg and Isaac Chinneck started crafting demos in their home studios. Their vision quickly expanded when they brought in Leeds Indie Scene veterans Abi Littlewood and George Card, completing a lineup that would become one of the city’s most talked-about new acts.

A Musical Melting Pot
What sets The Steelers apart is their refreshingly diverse approach to music. While many bands stick to a single lane, these rising stars draw inspiration from an eclectic mix of influences, including The Cars, The 1975, Go West, and David Bowie. Their sound is a unique fusion where:

Infectious funk grooves meet pop sensibilities
Jazz complexity blends with accessible melodies
Musical theatre dramatics add theatrical flair
Metal-inspired energy drives it all home
More Than Just Musicians
Throughout 2024, The Steelers proved they’re not just another band – they’re a complete package:

A growing catalog of polished pop anthems
An electrifying live show refined through countless performances
A strong and engaging social media presence across Instagram and TikTok
Extensive experience across pubs, clubs, and festival stages
Looking Ahead in 2025
After establishing themselves as ones to watch in 2024, The Steelers are poised for an even bigger year ahead. Their unique sound, professional approach, and undeniable talent have already earned them a dedicated following in the Leeds music scene, and 2025 promises to be their breakout year.

For those who love discovering artists on the cusp of something big, The Steelers represent everything exciting about the current UK music scene – versatility, authenticity, and raw talent shaped by serious musical education.
