The Bluetones

The Bluetones are an English indie rock band formed in Hounslow, West London, in 1993. They comprise Mark Morriss (vocals), Adam Devlin (guitar), Mark's younger brother Scott Morriss (bass guitar), and Eds Chesters (drums). A fifth member, Richard Payne (keys) came on board between 1998 and 2002 although still regularly works and tours with them. Before their official formation, all members excluding Chesters were originally in a group called the Bottlegarden.

The band have scored thirteen Top 40 singles and three top 10 albums on the UK charts. Although their commercial success waned in the post-Britpop era, they continued to tour and release new records. Their most recent album, Atlas was released in May 2026, just under sixteen years after their previous album, A New Athens (2010).
