Manchester institution Yossari Baby are an electronic/new wave evolution of Manchester punk outfit The Yossarians. Fronted by Tim Schiazza - with his trademark dense vocals and to-the-point songwriting Sonically, it's as if P-Model's manic technopop rewires New Order's melancholic post-punk circuitry, only to be warped through DEVO's art-damaged prism into something gloriously unhinged. Gothic melodies are accelerated with a B-52s spin; irony and paranoia, comedy and menace, all inhabit the same structures. Call it post-punk for the post-BRAT age - pleasure sweat soaked in economic gloom.

Wet Man is a songwriter and performer who takes influence from punk, garage rock, disco and 60s pop crooners but does this in an electronic format.
