The Band's Love/hate Relationship Creates A Volatile Sound With Darkly Poetic Lyrics Set To Raw Stripped Back Guitar And Drums Think Queens Of The Stone Age Battling The White Stripes. They Have Finished Work On Their Debut Album Sickle Sell Saturday Night Which Is Due For Release 1st September 2010 In Follow Up To Their Well-Received Parade Of Piranhas EP.

It Turns Me On’. Gary L Hope Vox/Guitar Is An Enigmatic Figure The ’black Eyed Preacher’ Holding Both A Degree In English Literature And A Criminal Conviction For Assault.

This Review From Manchester Music At In The City Sums Up Perfectly ‘…the Purple-Suited Sparkly Eyelinered Satanic Goateed Gary L Hope Is Still One Of The Scariest Frontmen You’ll Encounter. His Vocals Are Best Described As Well Imagine If Prince And Jack White Had A Child No Bear With Me Only He Was Born In Salford And Fucking Pissed Off About It. This Is Backed By Dirty Great Motherfucker Riffs Often Thrashed Out On The Bass Strings And Drumming That Sounds Like A Fight. They’re Always Good Live But They’re Absolutely On Fire Tonight Gary Pushing His Guitar Deep Into The Amp While Tom Pickford Batters Seven Shades Of Hell Out Of His Minimal Kit. The Interaction Between The Two Is Compelling With A Tight Two-Man Set-Up Such As This They Fix On Each Other Constantly With Looks That Fall Somewhere Between Encouraging And Threatening.’ Highlights Including An Exclusive Instore At Zavvi Manchester Performing At The Friends Of Manchester Festival 2009 Alongside The Longcut Kid British & The Joy Formidable To Name But A Few And Recently Played A Show For BBC Manchester Introducing.
TBK Also Played Three Storming Shows Over In The City 2009 Blowout ITC Official The Country Club And SJM Concerts Showcase .
They Have Also Supported Band Of Skulls The Hot Melts To The Bones & Lissy Trullie. Gary Sums Up 'People Leave Our Shows Not Knowing Whether To Fuck Or Fight And That’s The Response We Expect'. All Hail The Black Knights.
