The Larches Are Now Larches A Rebrand Update

The band previously known as The Larches will now be known simply as Larches. The name change begins now, with updates rolling out across the band’s website, social media accounts and streaming platforms over the coming period.

This is a small change, but one the band wants to share clearly with everyone who follows, listens to, books, supports or shares the music. The songs, the members, the live shows and the heart of the project remain the same. The name is shorter, cleaner and easier to use, but the band itself is not changing direction.

A simpler name, rooted in the same place.

The band name is changing from The Larches to Larches

The update is straightforward. The Larches are now Larches.

The band is making this change as part of a gentle rebrand, designed to make the name more direct and consistent wherever the music appears. Fans may see both names for a short while during the changeover, especially on search results, streaming services, event listings and older posts.

No action is needed from listeners. Existing music will remain available, and the band will continue sharing updates through the usual channels as each platform is refreshed.

For anyone searching online, the best thing to look for from now on is Larches. During the transition, searching for the old name may still bring up current pages, but the band will gradually move everything over to the new name.

Why the name has been shortened

The change from The Larches to Larches is not a complete reinvention. It is a tidy-up.

Band names follow people everywhere. They appear on posters, playlists, venue listings, festival bills, streaming apps, merch, web searches and conversations after gigs. A shorter name can be easier to remember, easier to find and easier to present cleanly across different platforms.

For the band, Larches keeps the part of the name that matters most. It still carries the same feel and connection. It still points back to the same musical identity. It simply removes one word and gives the band a cleaner name to carry forward.

This kind of change can take a little time to settle in. Some platforms update quickly. Others take longer. Search engines may show a mix of old and new names while they catch up. People may also see older artwork, links or saved library entries using the previous name.

That is expected, and it is part of the process.

What will change across the website and platforms

Over the coming period, the band will make small changes across its online presence. These updates will help everything line up under the new name.

The main places affected will include:

• Website

  
  

Page titles, copy, menus and other visible references will move from The Larches to Larches.

• Social media accounts

  
  

Profile names, handles where possible, biographies and displayed information will be updated.

• Streaming platforms

  
  

Artist naming, profile details and related metadata will be refreshed where each platform allows.

• Artwork and listings

  
  

Some future visuals, gig listings and releases will use the new name. Older material may still show the previous name for a while.

The band is aiming to make these updates carefully, rather than rushing and causing confusion. Some changes are quick to control directly. Others depend on platform review times, account settings or third-party systems.

That means the rebrand will not look perfect everywhere at once. There may be a short period where one platform says Larches, another still says The Larches, and a search result shows a mixture of both.

The band asks everyone to bear with them while these changes take place.

What will stay the same for listeners

The most important part is simple: the music is still the music.

Anyone who has followed The Larches can continue following Larches. Songs, releases and live plans are not being wiped away or separated from the band’s past. The change is about name clarity, not starting from zero.

Listeners can expect the same creative spirit and the same connection to the music. If a track is already saved, liked or added to a playlist, it should remain part of that listening history as the naming updates work through the relevant services.

There may be some short-term oddities. A saved artist profile might update later than expected. A playlist might show the older name for a while. A search may bring up two versions of the name before everything settles.

Those temporary details do not mean anything has gone wrong. They are normal parts of moving an artist name across different systems.

How fans can help during the changeover

The band is grateful for the support already shown under the previous name. That support now carries forward with the new one.

Anyone who wants to help can do a few simple things:

• Search for Larches when looking for the band online.

• Follow the updated profiles once they appear.

• Share new posts using the current name.

• Save or follow the artist profile on streaming platforms if it needs refreshing.

• Let friends know that The Larches and Larches are the same band.

  
  

Small actions like these help reduce confusion. They also help listeners, venues and platforms connect the new name with the existing music.

If people spot old references to The Larches in places the band can control, those will likely be updated in time. If older mentions appear in reviews, event archives, playlist notes or third-party pages, they may remain as part of the band’s history.

That is fine. The old name is not being erased. It is simply making way for the next version.

A careful step forward

Rebrands can feel bigger than they are, especially when a name has already meant something to people. In this case, the change is deliberately modest. It keeps continuity while making the name easier to use.

Larches gives the band a clearer shape for future releases, gigs and updates. It also keeps the name grounded in what people already recognise.

The band appreciates everyone’s patience while the website, social pages and streaming platforms are updated. Some details may take a little longer than others, but the aim is to make the move as smooth as possible.

The next chapter starts on the same stage.

Thank you for sticking with Larches

To everyone who has listened, shared a song, come to a show, added the band to a playlist or told someone else about the music, thank you.

The name may now be shorter, but the support behind it means just as much. From this point on, The Larches Are Now Larches A Rebrand Update can be summed up in one simple message: same band, same music, new name.

Please bear with the band while the final updates are made, and keep an eye out for Larches across the website, social media and streaming platforms.
