Artist Profile
Multi-instrumental folk from the flatlands of East Anglia
Rooted in the storytelling traditions of folk songwriting, Armoured Man’s sound fuses English and Celtic folk with elements of alternative rock and the nervy energy of post-hardcore.
Formed in 2015 in Castelló de la Plana, on the Valencian plain, Adam Thomas and Lewis Berale initially performed as Natives, earning a dedicated local following thanks to their intense, visceral live shows.
On returning to Essex in 2018, the pair continued to produce songs exploring the dysfunctional relationship between humans and the natural world, as well as between humans and themselves.
Their first full-length album, Natives, features songs written in Spain and England, and was recorded during the global pandemic of 2020.
