Sumos are a scuzz-pop quartet from Manchester, UK.

The project began as a bedroom recording outlet for Joel Sloan and Kyle Tarbuck after a hiatus from playing together in a previous band. Their debut album, Surfacing, was released in 2023 via Meritorio Records.

Part of the UK DIY scene, Sumos have shared stages with like-minded acts and label-mates such as The Planes, Teenage Tom Petties, Dignan Porch, Perennial, Oort Clod, Special Friend, Stuart Pearce, Park Safely, and Hugs of the Sky.

Sumos’ sound is built on a foundation of melodic indie rock and noisy power-pop.

Key influences include Husker Du, The Lemonheads, Pixies, P.S. Eliot, The Beths, Mikal Cronin, East River Pipe, and Mike Krol.
