Demob Happy are a British alternative rock trio formed in Newcastle upon Tyne in 2008 and now based in Brighton, consisting of vocalist/bassist Matthew Marcantonio, drummer Thomas Armstrong and guitarist Adam Godfrey. Their sound draws on grunge, psychedelic rock and fuzz-heavy riffs, with Queens of the Stone Age and Pixies among their touchstones. After 'Dream Soda' (2016) and 'Holy Doom' (2018), they released their well-received third album 'Divine Machines' in 2023, followed by their fourth record 'The Grown-Ups Are Talking' in January 2026 on their own Milk Parlour Records label.
PRS for Music published an interview with Demob Happy about their changing perspective on touring and the role of royalty income in their career.
Demob Happy released their fourth album 'The Grown-Ups Are Talking' via their own label Milk Parlour Records, recorded in Joshua Tree.
DIY Magazine praised the fourth album as 'some of their most unflinching work yet', written during a retreat in the Joshua Tree desert.
Demob Happy performed at the Queens of the Stone Age Rock N Roll Circus festival in Sheffield.
The third album 'Divine Machines' was released via Liberator Music and was praised by multiple media outlets as their most ambitious work to date.
