ABOUT US

FOARN are a five-piece alternative rock band from Stoke-on-Trent, in the West Midlands, UK. The lineup features Levi Knapper (vocals), Alex Grocock (guitar), Kieran Matthews (guitar), Nathan Petherick (bass), and Ash Clay (drums).

Formed in late 2023, the members brought together their experience from previous music projects, united by a shared passion for live performance.

FOARN performing

Over the past year, FOARN have honed their craft, releasing three singles in early 2025 — Wild Skies, Games, and Lights — all recorded during a week at Liverpool’s renowned Whitewood Studios. Operated by Robert Whitely and Daniel Woodward, Whitewood has worked with leading contemporary artists such as Miles Kane and The Wombats.
