They’re a five piece indie rock band that originally formed during the COVID-19 pandemic. Finding Bella have since been reviewed as "one of the big breakout bands predicted for 2022" with one review commenting that "if their statement release is anything to go by, Finding Bella's experiences are about to get a whole lot bigger". In their own words, Finding Bella aim to deliver a 'punchy blast of guitar and synth led melodies within their music leaving you with little choice but to get up, jump in and immerse yourself" within the band's unique, Indie New-Wave sounds.
