their second offering, after the release of their debut single earlier this year, they’ve taken the Manchester scene by storm, having just performed a headline set at YES Basement last week and really making their mark on the city โฑ๏ธ
this new tune sounds fantastic, with so many different influences and elements present, ranging from grungy nastiness, punky guitar riffs and melody lines, indie-rock anthemic singalong lyricism – it’s one to definitely check out! it’s a proper hard-hitting, feel good, powerful tune that proves their passion and talent for creating something that truly means something. โ๏ธ
Our feature for today’s Knead To Know is the fantastic Farrow & Friends Promotions ๐ค they host various open mics across Manchester and they’re a real cornerstone of the scene!
During the pandemic last year they hosted open mics over at Lions Den Bar Deansgate each Friday and provided a fantastic covid-secure environment for performers to keep going, with busy nights each week with some of Manchester’s finest artists and really kept the scene alive during a tough time! ๐
They now host two open mics – the Friday one down at Lions Den as previously mentioned and also one on a Sunday at Royal Oak, Chorlton-Cum-Hardy ๐ค they have featured artists for each one, if you want to perform just drop them a message! ๐
