Grand Arcadia – This 4 piece band hailing from the depths of Manchester blast out powerful and catchy vocals over soaring guitars, funky bass and bouncing drums.  The vocalist sounds as though Caleb Followill and Chris Cornell have merged to channel Jim Morrison, while the influences musically are impossible to pinpoint or compare to any band around at the moment.  

Grand Arcadia write songs for the bigger stages and deliver like no other band.  Formed on Valentine’s Day 2014, they’ve already become firmly established on the Manchester live circuit and been interviewed for local press & radio. 

We are a 3 piece Alternative Rock Band from Manchester! We play LOUD and HARD, our music has its quiet moments, but generally speaking, when you walk in the room your face will melt and your ears will be blown. On Vocals and Guitar we have Adam Bostock! His space bending whammy guitar riffs and cat slaughtering vocals will leave you haunted! On Bass we have Conner Hanmer! Castleton's finest. His bass hits notes only a woman can feel and his dance moves will put you in trance! And finally on the Bongo's is Matt Lockett! He's a "marple lad" with big dreams, banging the SH*$@T out of his drums is what he does best!

An electronic fusion of sound and melody.

Manchester Indie-Rockers Darktown Jubilee return with their brand new album ‘City Of Light’ and accompanying single, ‘Falling Down’. The album is the follow up to 2013’s well received debut album ‘The World, The Flesh & The Devil’ and is out now on Parade Recordings. 

The 4 piece band, comprised of David Boardman (vocals & guitar), Stuart Day (bass), Al Roberts (guitars) and Matt Sale (drums), combine the moody, indie sound of contemporary artists such as The Courteeners and Editors with the classic melancholic 80’s pop of the likes of New Order, whilst in the process creating something that is uniquely their own. Darktown Jubilee have hit upon a formula that fuses simple strong melody and anthemic choruses with atmospheric, edgy guitar and retro synths. David Boardman from the band comments: 

“The album has been recorded over the last few months over at our regular studio in Wigan and has been a joy to make. It’s been a real collaborative effort with everyone pitching in ideas, and I think you can really hear that in the tracks ...we’re very proud of it. The first single, ‘Falling Down’ was kind of an obvious choice as it’s got a great hook and when we’ve played it live, people have always picked it out saying they love it!”

New single ‘Falling Down’, which has already been championed by BBC INTRODUCING in Manchester, is OUT NOW.
