The Ariston

The Ariston are a rising indie-rock band from London, known for their anthemic choruses, atmospheric guitars and energetic stage chemistry. The four-piece consists of Luca Slade (vocals/guitar), Will Parsonson (bass), Rich Hiett (guitar) and Finn Bunce (drums), combining big melodies with a dynamic, guitar-driven sound.

Their single 'Honey, I'd Lie To You', aired exclusively on major UK radio: Radio X with John Kennedy, two days before its official release and earned the X-Posure Daily 'Hot One'. Whereas releases like 'Fiction' and 'Simona' have earned them BBC Introducing support and helped the band secure slots at major festivals including Latitude and Leeds Festival in 2025. This summer they closed the 'ThisFeeling Stage' at Isle of Wight 2026 on the Friday night. Alongside these appearances, they’ve built a dedicated following through a relentless gig schedule and a DIY approach to promoting their shows.

Their most recent single, ‘Fire’ was aired exclusively on BBC Introducing Live Lounge where the band played a few songs off their upcoming debut EP.

Drawing on the influence of bands like Inhaler and The Cure, The Ariston write emotionally-charged indie rock anthems that hit just as hard in small rooms as they do on big stages.
