Klyphex Presents In Association With Akoustik Anarkhy

Martial Arts + Holly Head with support from The Borough

MARTIAL ARTS

Every rehearsal room they’ve ever loved has left them and, from the wreckage of the latest to be demolished emerges the latest single from Manchester’s (inter)nationally-revered, socially-literate post-punks, Martial Arts. Causing no little attention from noise abatement officers on the outskirts of the city centre, Triumph’s unquestionable sonic ambition comes cut with incisive commentary on the stifling, closeting effects of questionable conformity.
Relentless touring through winter and spring, predominantly in support of previous, critically and fan-acclaimed, emergent era singles, Warsaw and Defector, concluded with the band’s first overseas jaunt before a swelled audience at Paris’ Supersonic.

“Yet another jewel from the ever fruitful rocklands of North West England”
- So Young Magazine

“‘Dramatic, cinematic and musically enthralling… rousing and anthemic”
- Wonderland Magazine

HOLLY HEAD

Political activism, unrelenting basslines, cut glass guitar riffs and the freneticism of enhanced neural pathways all fuse, spark and ignite as Manchester newcomers, Holly Head, release their debut single, No Gain. Fringing post-punk, flirting with dance and suffusing no little funk into precious few minutes of an incessant, rug-cutting “Afrobeat Curious Post-Hardgaze”, the four-piece transmits the crucial sounds of a raging, wide-awake, no more bullsh*t society.
