It’s with great pleasure that we welcome two of our favourite rising rock bands on Sunday 20th October!
Cruush are making a real name for theirselves in Manchester with an alternative sound that combines shoegaze with grunge. An excellent, enchanting sound. They’re supported by Brighton-based DIY garage rock band Currls – a sonic powerhouse bound to blow the roof off RMH.
“Shoegaze for the Doomed Generation… a collection of songs that not only blows your socks off right now, but leaves you desperate to see how cruush’s sound continues to evolve” – So Young Magazine
Manchester’s alternative heavyweights, cruush sound like a manufacturing error of prettiness. Corrosive. Half-melted. Spewing a destabilising grunginess so intense it creates a kind of paralysis. Their core IP formed when Amber’s darkwave nursery rhymes of dead-eyed dreamstate met the white-knuckle tension of Arthur Boyd’s elliptical guitar. Running into one another at a “shitty Fresher’s event” the pair retreated to the chromosome of Amber’s room to jam later joined by drummer Fotis Kalantzis and bassist Charlie Marriott. Their delay mottled ditties propelled by gusts of distortion dissolving into tones muscular enough to administer compound fractures, shifting in and out of phase, pluming for miles, drone-laced and magnificent.
Forming in Brighton, Currls are a DIY Garage Rock band that burst onto the scene in 2017 and have since become a formidable presence in the underground music scene. Seamlessly blending raw Garage rock, fast-paced Punk, and sludgy Pop, Currls is a sonic powerhouse that will leave you feeling ready to take on the world. In a world saturated with conformity, Currls stands as a beacon of authenticity – a trio that defies expectations and leaves an everlasting imprint on the hearts of those who dare to listen.
“Cruush offer up a mesmeric concoction of shimmering guitar lines and pedal-adorned bass, merging the richly layered shoegaze soundscapes of Slowdive with Ellie Rowsell’s feather-light vocal touch” – DIY
“Currls are a rallying cry. Scuzzy riot grrrl inspired pop-punk made for the main stage. Authentic, snarling and converting you to the band’s cause as she goes” – The Line Of Best Fit
