Working Men's Club in Glasgow

About the artist

indie post-punk revival band from North West, England. When you’re surrounded by open air markets struggling to stay running and a bus service that only runs every hour, there’s not much else to do other than listen to music. Tucked away in the Calder Valley, this was Syd Minsky-Sargeant's youth. Voraciously devouring music until his preferences read like an all-you-can-eat buffet, with something from everywhere. But, like with The Orielles in nearby Halifax, he decided listening wasn’t enough. He needed to create something new. Enter Working Men’s Club. What began as something more akin to a Joy Division inspired post-punk project, morphed into a muscular, Krautrock/techno beast. Disagreements, delayed album releases and perhaps premature signings ensued.
