“Sal & The Mandas are semi-kinda punk adjacent (and constantly make onstage jokes about how unpunk they are) but fundamentally they are a band about joy. Not just the happy type, but the kind of joy you get from revenge, or from thinking about impossible things. Basically, they’re the tonic we all need right now, uplifting in the way that’s hard to place but is located somewhere near the centre of your being. I’ll be grinning for days after this.”
