Manchester-based alt-rockers We The North are back with their brand new single “Where is your God?” 🤘 Hard hitting riffs, huge drums, and an attitude to match, this is definitely one to blast out before a night out. Class stuff! [SPOTIFY]
Yorkshire rockers Blue Orchid Reaction are back with another banger – we’ve featured them before and love the energy within their music. “Sunset Claims” is another top single from them – with 70’s influence, lush guitar tones and some lovely songwriting, definitely worth checking out! [SPOTIFY]

We know we’ve featured Szou before with this track, but this music video is bloody CLASS. A real homage to Manchester, and an absolutely fantastic tune. One to blast out before you go out – pop goodness, and the tune is produced so well. What a talent! Big shout to

Manchester-based punks The Battery Farm are back with yet another massive tune “Roy Keane Isn’t Real”! Proper heavy and driving stuff from these guys, real punk ambassadors of the scene. Well class and so noisy! The video is proper great too, tongue in cheek laughs throughout, well worth a watch! [SPOTIFY / YOUTUBE]
Manchester indie rockers Not Ned are back with their new EP “Good Times”! Well worth a listen, you can tell these guys are jamming and having a laugh – that riff is proper lush and the band sounds proper tight. Lovely alt rock vibe to this – just great vibes all around here! [SPOTIFY / YOUTUBE]
