JUDAS are an alternative indie rock band from London. Formed in 2014, the band consists of John Clancy (lead vocals, rhythm guitar), James Phillips (bass, backing vocals), Todd Blackmore (lead guitar, backing vocals) and Sam Horvath (drums).

The band formed in London in late 2014 after meeting at gigs, through mutual friends. They quickly began writing and playing live across London and the wider UK circuit, gaining an early reputation for highly energetic performances. In early 2015 the band slowly released their debut EP We Are Judas by uploading it online to soundcloud and spotify. The tracks soon received recognition, gaining over 50,000 plays on soundcloud alone and receiving national radio play on xfm and bbc introducing. The band continued touring through 2015, playing over 100 shows including appearances at Isle of Wight, Soundcity, and Kendall Calling Festivals and nationally renowned venues such as London's KOKO and Liverpool's The Cavern.

Through 2016 the band have increased their touring schedule, with appearances up and down the UK and festival slots including Isle of Wight, Truck, Soundcity, Barn on the Farm, Y Not and Leeds fest, with the band being offered second slots at the latter two festivals, including the Main Stage at Leeds Festival.
