The Ariston

In the artist’s words: Describe one of your earliest musical memories in detail. The band’s name comes from Will’s first memory of music, listening to records with his dad on an old record player marked Ariston Acoustics. Every new record was “one for the Ariston.” Now, our band provides the music. What are your top 3 all-time favorite albums on Apple Music, and why? Why did you choose these three albums in particular? Arctic Monkeys, AM Catfish and the Bottlemen, The Balcony Radiohead, The Bends For us, all these albums show a real tangible experience for a listener. Something we want to create as a band. Emotion is routed behind what we write and these albums make us all feel something. The guitars are pretty sweet on these records too. Find a song of yours on Apple Music that you love and tell us what makes it special. Tell us why you chose this song. “Fiction” ‘Fiction’ was written and recorded in one week, which made the whole process exciting. It explores not fitting in, being replaceable, and never quite being enough in show business and relationships. It captures the direction we see our music heading. What’s one of the most memorable moments in your career so far? We were lucky enough to headline a day festival in 2024 and perform to 7000 people which is our biggest show to date and something we will never forget. Everyone just having the best time, jumping along to tunes of ours they didn't even know. Class. Is there anything left on your bucket list as an artist or band? We have a pretty extensive list. Glasto has and will always be a huge thing for us as a band. We'd also love to play The Royal Albert Hall with a 50 piece orchestra, so that will have to happen at some point too!
