Just The Crust 18/10/21: The Battery Farm – Dirty Den’s March of Suffering ✊

our feature for today’s Just The Crust is the brand new EP from The Battery Farm🤘

self-proclaimed “gutter punks” of Manchester, The Battery Farm have been tearing up stages for a few years now, with their energetic sets, driving tunes and formidable stage presence – they’re absolutely amazing live, every time we’ve caught them we’ve been blown away ☀️

the new EP features some of their previous singles this year, such as “Roy Keane Isn’t Real” and “When The Whip Goes Crack” – they toe the line between serious and having a laugh so well 😊 with huge, anthemic choruses and melodic and grungy build ups, these are definitely ones to watch on the Manchester scene. 😎

one of our favourites off the new EP is “I’ve Never Been To Gorton” – a proper tongue-in-cheek tune about the different areas of Manchester, with lovely guitar melodies throughout and huge choruses 🤘 lead singer Ben’s vocal sounds great on this too, showing his prowess as a vocalist – well worth a listen 🤠

head on over to Spotify at https://open.spotify.com/album/6jIL2W5c4AUeF83jVpZB4H to find the EP in full – it’s a proper lovely listen with some beautiful interlude tracks to really make it stand out as a full release! 🙌 you can also find their music videos on their YouTube as well, “Roy Keane Isn’t Real” is a reyt good watch 😆 looking forward to seeing where these guys go next!
