Manchester’s Suzuki Method are described by BBC Manchester Online as “toe-tapping thrills, a compelling mix of shape-throwing and brow-furrowing, as brooding as they are bouncy and twice as addictive.” Local punk novelist, John Robb is a fan of Working For A Nuclear Free City who craft “brilliant, big washes and soundscapes and a flavour of neo-industrial noise. It’s challenging, hypnotic, effective.”. the final act on the bill are Liverpool’s The Rialto Burns (Gung-Ho! Records). There are no theatrics with this band – it’s pure, intense sound – think Joy Division, New Order, Dépêche Mode, Human League, The Smiths, The Verve, Killers delivered with sub-zero attitude.
