honesty

Manchester. Concrete. Echo.

Math precision meets post-rock drift; experi-indie restraint with 90s lineage. Think Tortoise, The American Analog Set and Yo La Tengo locked in a disused factory unit after hours.

Guitars coil and release. Rhythms tighten, then wander.

Instrumentals that breathe rather than beg. Word is spreading: part of the next wave rolling out of the city.

with a self tilted debut album fresh out these are one to watch

bathing Suits

Dancefloor dissent.

Agit-funk architecture built from the rhythm section up - percussive latticework, indefatigable low-end pressure, then the wire-strung guitars slash in. Joe's vocal cuts clean through it all: part sermon, part siren.

Influence as roll call: Wu-Lu, Happy Mondays, Kokoroko, Fugazi, Fela Kuti, DJ Shadow.

Not imitation - transmission.

Debut single No Gain: frenetic, floor-tested, already carrying that quiet "if you know, you know" status. A first BBC 6 Music New Music Fix live session sealed it.
