MOLD
Manchester anarchic punk band MOLD return to Band on the Wall after supporting New Jersey punks Screaming Females earlier this year.
Afghan Sand Gang
Band on the Wall favourites Afghan Sand Gang bring their electronic shoegaze and krautdance blend to the venue. Check out their new single ‘Glistener’
Grimm Twins
Hailing from Macclesfield, Grimm Twins formed in 2018 with twins Harry (Vocals & Guitar) & Joe Ward (Drums) Tilly Morris (Synthesizers & Keyboards) Will Taylor (Bass Guitar) and George Cole (Lead Guitar). Having put a song online every month of 2018, the buzz around the group grew in Manchester. Huw Stephens played their track ‘Generation Z’ on his Radio 1 show, and American Station KEXP followed suit.
New Luna
A staple band of Manchester’s underground alternative scene, New Luna continue to establish themselves as an act pushing dream-pop and post-indie music in a forward direction. Drawing comparisons to Radiohead and Bombay Bicycle Club, the band followed up the “brilliantly forward-thinking noisy rock” (Piccadilly Records) of 2016’s debut EP with 2017 single Opinionated, reaching #3 on Hypemachine’s Worldwide Blog Chart and gaining support from Dork, It’s All Indie and Too Many Blogs.
This is a standing show.
