The Tin Knees @ Metro Social, 15th Jul
“A set by The Tin Knees is like watching wonky musical theatre performed by a mix of virtuoso musicians and the full puppet cast of Gremlins, all shouting, in unison, ‘BUTTHOLE!’ It is exactly as brilliant fun as it sounds.” Gallery Listen

Hot Pursuit @ Metro Social, 15th Jul
“Hot Pursuit are a blast of daft, giddy escapism, your new favourite jazz-funk-nu-metal-hip-hop-party-pop band. Utterly and ferociously committed to making you flail around like an idiot, they’re the band to dance to when you kind of hope no-one’s watching but honestly don’t care.” Gallery Listen
“MEOW MEOW AND THE SMACKOUTS are like old wool, scratchy and classic and incredibly warm. Wild of eye and fleet of foot, there’s a perhaps surprising range in the set too, punk shapes and pop textures covered in a big blanket made of mischief and snarls. Great, great fun.” Gallery Listen

Antenna @ Factory Theatre, 12th Jul
“Shogun has some things on his mind, so in short order – and at a rapid clip – they are quickly hammered straight into our heads too. As spectacular in ferocity as it is in melody, it’s a barn-burner of a set, with both Shogun’s body and voice barrelling around the venue and climbing up […]

Green Buzzard @ Factory Theatre, 12th Jul
“Green Buzzard’s 90s Manchester core carries a sharper edge, less of the swirly psychedelia and more of the tougher rhythms and sneer. These songs are all huge, waves of sound like fireworks, all brightness and noise. Taking a classic sound and bringing it into the current time – cool af.” Gallery Listen
