Mark - Backroom Stereo

Pop-punk/indie music from Colchester, Essex

About Backroom Stereo

Welcome to the electrifying world of Backroom Stereo, the musical project of Colchester-based multi-instrumentalist Mark Tiddy!

With over a decade of songwriting, producing, and performing, Mark has crafted a dynamic sound blending alternative pop/rock with the infectious polish of Taylor Swift and the high-energy spirit of Blink-182, New Found Glory, and The Ataris. Since his 2014 debut with Brighter Future,

Mark has released three studio albums, multiple EPs, and his much-loved annual Christmas single. From local radio buzz with Falling Fast to international performances at Sam’s Jams in Nashville, Backroom Stereo continues to push creative boundaries.

Whether playing Colchester’s open mic nights or gigging nationwide, Mark’s passion for music shines through every note. Follow Backroom Stereo on social media and stay tuned—there’s always something fresh on the way!
