The Ariston
Band members Luca, Will and Clay came together at drama school while studying acting. They spent most of their free time songwriting in the music rooms and as result of this they formed what was initially the band: 'ØNE30'. Sometime later whilst at ACM, Clay met Finn and introduced him to the others. They subsequently became The Ariston.
The name of the band was born from an old sentimental anecdote of Will's younger years. His father owned a record player by Ariston Acoustics and on hearing a song he liked, would tell his son, "...That's one for the 'Ariston'... So now, ‘The Ariston’ are providing the music.
The Ariston are an Indie/Alternative Rock band based in Southeast England. With fans eager to hear their music, they released their debut single ‘Yellow Lines’ on August 26th 2022. The band have recorded in London and Italy.
Through their determination and ability to deliver, they have been busy gigging to sold out venues including The Star Inn and The Boileroom in Guildford, as well as the 60th Anniversary Marshall Hanwell Hootie and Pennfest Festivals. The Ariston have played venues and major stages, such as The Bedford in Balham, Camden Assembly and Twickenham Stadium.
Lead by frontman Luca Slade, alongside, Clay Bennett (lead guitar), Will Parsonson (bass guitar) and Finn Bunce (drums). On March 3rd 2023, they released their debut Live EP - The Vinyl; a grassroots EP to show off how the band’s sound started. The Ariston have also worked with WarChild UK as a part of their RISING campaign raising funds for children in wear-torn countries across the world. The boys also headlined their first festival at League Two’s Sutton United FC for the very first ‘Sutton Summer Festival’ 2023, promoting the 23/24 Kit.
