Most of the bands people worship didn’t start off playing arenas unfortunately. Venues below 500 capacity are absolutely crucial to development. Let’s hope this doesn’t get worse for everyone’s sake x
We just played an impromptu set outside
@VinylRevivalMcr
for Record Store Day!! What a response.. No one does it quite like Manchester.
Back again at 3. We've got some records and t-shirts with us too 📺⚡

We wanted to celebrate our first ever play on national radio (
@BBC6Music
seeing as you asked 😉). We weren’t sure what to do so we made a jingle for
@ChrisHawkinsUK

Best thing about lockdown has been discovering new bands and learning about music. Seeing people connect with it through social media is a beautiful thing.. It might have many faults but this has definitely been a highlight. x
Our next single ‘These Days’ will be released 17/11/20 on
@GoldenRobotRcds
Oh it’s been a while but this number is bound to blow your boots off...we’ve been super pumped to get it out, it’s gonna be a game changer. What a time to release it... x

OUR NEW SINGLE ‘SEEKER’ IS OUT NOW EVERYWHERE.
Had a blast making this. We recorded in absolute isolation, filmed on the hottest day of the year and nearly melted in the process. It was worth it, enjoy x
#SEEKER
Our debut album ‘Blink for Nothing’ is out tomorrow. It feels quite surreal. We’re extremely proud of it and can’t wait to get out our first LP out there to the world. We have new merch, 12” vinyl and now on available on CD with an alternative cover
Great news that
@thisisgorilla
&
@DeafInstitute
are being saved. Absolute staple of the Manchester music scene. Apparently
@Tim_Burgess
may be involved. Couldn’t be in better hands, Tim Peaks stage maybe?
BIG news that
@XSManchester
has been saved.
A true supporter of local music and upcoming talent.
Here’s one from when we played a live session in Oldham for
@therealboon
’s show.
Keep up the work guys x

Lots of negativity around at the moment, rightly so but... we can’t wait to show you what we have up our sleeve and hopefully bring some joy n all that x
We’re going to be playing
@FCUnitedMcr
on the 1st of February 2020, we can’t wait to return after such a humbling response last time round. See ya there ⚽️🤟⚡️
Unfortunately...a big section of musicians and people in the arts industry are already multi-skilled and have day jobs that are currently in peril. Doesn’t quite cut it mate. More support is needed. But don’t let this kill your creativity.
Overjoyed to announce we’ll be opening for
@petedoherty
on the SOLD OUT Northwich leg of the ‘Who’s Been Having You Over ?’ Tour this Saturday 16th February.
We're very pleased to announce that we have collaborated with
@ChaddertonFC
on their 2019/2020 season kit.
After being paired up with them via the
@_Bands_FC
phenomenon, it's a pleasure to now be cemented as part of our local club.

UK TOUR ⚜️
Here we go again. It's been too long.
We might have suffered through not playing live but independent music venues and staff have even more.
It's down to all of us now to support the industry and get things back to how they should be
We can't wait to get out there.
It’s been too long since we last put out some wax, so we have some good news...
‘You’ is getting pressed on LTD vinyl for the first time. We thought we’d throw in ‘Back of the Line’ on the B-side too ;)
