Fruit - @fruitband_

A six-piece experimental rock band from the North-West, who have quickly earned a reputation for an aggressive and hectic show, described as “angry, to mournful to delicate and back again” .

They have played gigs throughout the northwest, as well as Sheffield, Leicester and Brixton’s iconic Windmill venue. Formed in late 2022, their sound blends dissonance, noise, and poetic lyrics, evident in singles like ‘Bleak’ and ‘The International.’

 Their performances are a rollercoaster of emotion, drawing audiences from Manchester to Brixton. With a new release expected in late 2024, Fruit continues to push the boundaries of rock, delivering consistent energy and eclecticism.

Glacmanis- @glacmanis

Manchester-based alternative rock 4-piece, who are making a name for themselves. Formed in 2022 by Josh Haylock (rhythm guitar, vocals) and Matt Lewis (bass guitar, vocals), the band channels the energy of LCD Soundsystem, Talking Heads, The Beatles, and Happy Mondays.

Their debut album “Welcome to the Party” dropped in August 2024, showcasing their infectious sound. With Elliott Jones (lead guitar) and Olli Sharp (drums) joining in 2024, Glacmanis made a powerful live debut at Manchester’s Club Academy in May, marking them as a band to watch.
