Mohawk Radio EP Launch At Deaf Institute
- Written by Marky Edison
Stockport’s Mohawk Radio launch their new EP Shoot From the Hip at The Deaf Institute, Manchester, on Friday February 10. Mia Page (vocals), Dave Quinn (drums), Sean Frankland (bass), and James Gregory (guitar) were voted ‘Stockport’s Finest’ in 2013.
Described as "Cher meets Metallica", the band have previously released two EPs which are unfashionably heavy, unabashedly ambitious, and unashamedly catchy. Mohawk Radio have played in major gigs here and abroad, with shows at the Etihad Stadium, Hyde Park and SXSW.
Singer Mia Page came to the UK from Bermuda, “Honestly, I came here because of The Stone Roses and Oasis,” she reflects. “I used to listen to Definitely Maybe on the beach. England has always been the forerunner in the music I'm interested in.”
Their eclectic influences include Pantera, Radiohead, Alanis Morissette, Nothing But Thieves, Lana Del Rey and Arctic Monkeys. “As a band, we've really found our sound,” says Mia. “I think this EP is the first real showcase of it.”
Shoot From The Hip was produced by Clint Murphy (Manic Street Preachers, Thunder, 50 Cent).

2 – ‘Get What You Deserve’
