Artio are an English alternative rock band from Leeds, West Yorkshire, formed in 2018 by drummer Ieuan Jones and vocalist Rae Brazill. Their music is known for its blend of alt-rock, electronic, and nu-metal elements.
Artio have released their debut album Babyface in 2024, with it having its own storyline written and directed by the vocalist Rae Brazill. Said story tells the audience about the titular character, the gangster slayer Babyface, and their mission — rescuing the abducted Pyrokid, from the hands of a criminal gang. It consists of four music videos (“Sertraline”, “Wallflower”, “Head In The Sand, Finger On The Trigger”, “Babyface”) and can be found on Artio’s official YouTube channel.
They have also released several EPs: Stand Alone and Do Your Dance (2020), Shapeshifter: As Above (4 June 2021) and Shapeshifter: So Below (12 November 2021), and Pyrokid (2023). Later, the pre-Pyrokid era releases were re-recorded with slightly rewritten song lyrics and merged into an album called Shapeshifted, which came out on August 25, 2025, but had its release date set as November 12, 2021 on streaming.
On September 26, 2025 Artio have announced their second full-length album called Soul Rot, which is expected to come out on January 21st via LAB Records.
The band currently consists of four members: Rae Brazill (lead vocals), Ieuan Jones (drums, production), Robert Arkle (guitar) and Jai Akhurst (guitar). Read more on Last.fm. User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
