Tom Waits for Christmas

The Generalissimos were a sometimes 4-piece, sometimes 3-piece, genre-defining band active between 2002 and 2010. What genre they defined exactly is up for debate but one thing that is certain is that they were instrumental in influencing the south Manchester sound of the noughties. Uncompromising in their vision to create imperfect pop, The Generalissimos enjoyed 8 years of prolific music making. Some of that music can be found right here. Their live shows were legendary, in part because the band would stick rigidly to their mantra of playing 'face-meltingly fast and pants-shittingly loud.'
