Clifffs is the new project from John Dufilho, who is already firmly established on America's music scene through his work with The Deathray Davies and The Apples in Stereo. Inspired by a love of The Ramones, Dufilho blends modern garage with retro fuzz punk to create songs that are melodic, energetic and utterly infectious. "We wanted to make the simplest statement. A few chords, a lot of energy." John explains. "It's not an easy thing, making something so minimal. I'm super proud of our record."

The Dallas based musician describes his latest band Clifffs as producing “minimalist punk rock inspired songs with only three or four chords”. And that's exactly what the band's debut album Bill, You're Only Human delivered on its release in June 2016, but it also gave listeners so much more.

'Portland to Vermont', the second single to be released from the critically acclaimed debut long player, is a riproaring journey into the band's sound. The song delivers everything a modern classic could, in less than two highly charged and intoxicating minutes.

The Membranes play their biggest hometown show to date on Saturday April 29th at The Ritz, Manchester. One of the loudest bands on the planet, if not the universe, have announced a show at Manchester's O2 Ritz on April 29th 2017. Fronted by musician, journalist and author John Robb, will play their highly acclaimed album Dark Matter/Dark Energy in full, as well as screening their Universe Explained film.

The show, which is set to sell out, will see the band play the whole of their critically acclaimed album accompanied by a 25 piece choir. This ambitious approach to their live shows has already proved to be a huge hit with audiences at festivals in the UK and across Europe, generating unanimously positive reviews.

The highly influential and groundbreaking Manchester band reformed four years ago after one of their many influences, My Bloody Valentine, invited them to perform at ATP Festival. Support comes from Brix and the Extricated, Evil Blizzard, Dub Sex, The Nightingales, The Blinders and The Empty Page.
