Airship is a British indie rock band, which in 2004 in Manchester was founded with the name of Astroboy. The band consists of singer-guitarist Elliott Williams, guitarist Steven Griffiths, bassist Tom Dyball and guitarist Marcus Wheeldon. After they had encountered a period called Rowley, they decided to change their name again to make a fresh start. The music of Airship is often compared to that of Snow Patrol, Editors and White Lies.
