Recorded, produced, mixed and mastered by Phil Booth and Rich Collins at JT Soar, Nottingham.

The Grind

A Better Way (Don't Start)

Recognised as one of the brightest hopes coming out of Nottingham right now, Bored Marsh are an alternative rock 4-piece, their name referencing a now derelict shopping centre & lack of progress in their hometown through Government funding cuts and austerity, who are starting to draw the recognition and attention of those further afield.


Formed via lockdown demo-sharing, their reverb-soaked dynamic sound combines soaring melodic vocal and guitar harmonies, with darker, heavier sections. Taking inspiration from various eras of guitar music over recent decades, from early post-punk and grunge, through to more recent shoegaze and new wave influences, references include the likes of Interpol and Radiohead.


Performing live since the end of 2022, their reputation increases at pace receiving praise from the likes of Under The Radar, BBC Radio, and Louder Than War. Debut single “The Grind” released in May 2023 was picked up and featured on Made in Chelsea of all places, with the band also recognised by the likes of God Is In The TV, and as a Spotlight Artist by The Unsigned Guide.


Recent performances include playing to a heaving Rough Trade Nottingham for DHP’s Beat The Streets Festival, prime slots at Waterfront and Riverside festivals last summer, as well as sell-out shows supporting the likes of The Warlocks and New Candys. 


Bored Marsh are performing as Special Guests for Eyre Llew at their hometown comeback show in March, and have slots secured at this year’s FOCUS Wales as well as Dot to Dot festival later on in May.  With their next single ‘Alright, OK!’ Due out in June off their forthcoming ‘Idiot EP’ due out in September, Bored Marsh are well and truly on the rise.




“Rightly recognised as one of the brightest indie hopes in the city right now. Their show in Rough Trade is effortlessly tight, their seismic, dark, melancholy indie rock filling the room. Nottingham’s Interpol? Yeah, sure, Shades of The Walkmen? Yeah. Glimmers of Editors? You bet. Radiohead’s angsty melodies. Totally. But all wrapped in anthemic indie. Bored Marsh are anything but boring.” Under The Radar
