Blanketman

Manchester’s Blanketman Are Leading Some Form Of Cultural Renaissance Up In That Neck Of The Woods And You’d Be A Fool To Ignore It. For A City With Such A Rich Tradition Of Producing Era-Defining Bands Recent Years Have Been Comparatively Thin On Great Bands Coming Out Of The City And Onto The National Stage – So It Feels The Time Is Ripe For An Explosion. Enter Then Blanketman The Fresh-Faced Quartet That Have Set Tongues Wagging In Recent Months. Signed To PIAS Early On They Serve Up A Particularly Sanguine Form Of Post-Punk That Upon Tasting Is Both Sharp Yet Sweet On The Old Audio Palate. Fantastic Debut ‘Taking You With Me’ An Ode To The Existential Fear Of Ageing We Can All Fall Prey To Mixes The Somehow-Optimistic Guitar Lines Of The Smiths With The Vitriolic Vocal Sneers Of An Early Mark E Smith And Still Manages A Nod To The Angularism Of The Talking Heads In One Fell Swoop. It’s A Wicked Debut And One That Set The Scene Perfectly For What Was To Come. Fresh From The Haberdashery.
