“With lush arrangements and hypnotic melodies, Alfresco Love Sounds conjure a sound that’s cinematic, immersive and impossible to ignore” - Slap Magazine, 2025

Alfresco Love Sounds are an energetic indie-rock trio from Birmingham, featuring cousins Tom Ward and Miles Groce, along with Joe Bancroft-Hale. Evolving from Tom's solo project into a full power live outfit, their nature-influenced sound blends dream pop, beach-indie and slacker rock with pin-drop moments of indie folk.
Described by Slap Magazine as "cinematic, immersive and impossible to ignore," their dynamic live shows have drawn comparisons to artists like Pavement and Big Thief.
In 2025, they performed at The Season Festival in London and Worcester Music Festival, and have supported multiple touring bands passing through Birmingham.
Their single "Mirror Skies" has garnered 25k plays thanks in part to inclusion on Derrick Gee’s ‘New Soft’ playlist and they're set to release their second full-length album in early 2026.
