handle — Manchester post-punk trio blending samba to no wave with poetic urgency. New album incoming following underground classic ‘In Threes’. Giulio Erasmus, Nirvana Heire (ex-D.U.D.S) + genderqueer artist Leo Hermitt mesh politics with trans temporality and avant-garde freedom.

Beau Mec — Industrial no-wave band from Manchester’s experimental underground, blending industrial noise, angular guitars and relentless Latin-inflected grooves.

Prangers — Rochdale trio crafting tumultuous noise from unusual percussion, electronics, and spoken word. Music that sounds industrial in the truest sense, built from a tangle of metallic clanks and clangs.
