HEAVY SALAD - formed in Manchester in Autumn 2018 by Lee Mann (formerly of The Moonlandingz) on bass and vocals, Rob Glennie on guitar and Allan Hutchison on drums. The group, charged up on a myriad of musical influences, create a cosmic slop of melodic 90s tinged rock and psychedelic 60s inspired pop infused with the bands eclectic love of surf rock, electronic pop, funk, jazz, gospel and folk.The band quickly expanded into a seven piece with the addition of 'The Priestesses' whose soaring vocals bring a soulful, cosmic vibe to the Heavy Salad sound and Oscar Remers on guitar, vocals and synths.
Already receiving radio play on 6Music, Radio 1 and Radio X from the likes of Guy Garvey (Elbow), Jack Saunders and Steve Lamacq, the band released their debut album Cult Casual, recorded with producers Christophe Bride in Salford (ACR) and Ross Orton in Sheffield (Arctic Monkeys/Working Men's Club) in September 2020.
Currently on tour with Manchester's PINS, Heavy Salad are putting the finishing touches to their second LP recorded in Manchester with Christophe Bride at Oxygene Studio and in West London with Stephen Street (Blur / The Smiths) at Damon Albarn's Studio13. The band will release new single 'Psilocyberman' in spring 2022. Heavy Salad works in the space between perceived reality and the abyss of your mind...

SILENT-K - are currently on tour with Scouse legends CAST for their 25th Anniversary tour of debut album ‘ALL CHANGE’
With their unique infectious melodies and electrifying rip-roaring hip-hop infused rock n roll, SILENT-K seduce and charm audiences onto their fizzy-pop plateau of sonic fury.
‘DOORSTEP’ will be the next offering from their rock n rollercoaster repertoire, with claims it’s their best tune to date. “We’ve been eager to release DOORSTEP since Ross finished the mix back in 2021. It’s a funk’d up, wonky-punk angular beast and it bangs like a pornstar! The Brother Kidda (Orton) knows how to bring the party and he’s nailed it down tight with this mix! DOORSTEP is set to hit the airwaves March 23rd 2022 on all streaming platforms. soundcloud.com/thisissilentk/doorstep-vocal-up-24-bit-441k-master/s-Yc8XNzaLXqu?si=c7f4eac9c716484ba0bd3b7342b27ed9&utm_source=clipboard&utm_medium=text&utm_campaign=social_sharing
Frontman Chris Taylor – aka Pineapple King – has been at the forefront of the stage and line-ups since SILENT-K’s inception, previously touring on guitar for both Fat White Family and Dave McCabe & the Ramifications.
Taylor says “we’re on a mission to capture the imagination of the U.K. music scene. The songs carry meaning and substance and we wanna unite all the true like-minded heads out there and keep pushing the envelope”.
Alongside Taylor, SILENT-K was co-founded with Dave McCabe from critically acclaimed Liverpool band The Zutons. Although no longer a permanent live member, he still makes the occasional guest appearance and features strongly on the debut album.
Former member of the The La’s, Barry Sutton, says SILENT-K are the only band in Liverpool with the “edge, funk and sheer electricity I look for in my favourite music”.
