Read Description:

Epic, atmospheric Manchester-bred soundtrack rock.

We love Working for a Nuclear Free City and we're not alone! We like to think of their music as soundtrack rock. It is full of guitars and reverbed vocals, combining an insatiable power with a tenderness that could make you weep. Working For A Nuclear Free City’s early morning haziness contrasts with frenzied, feedback-drenched power rock and the sheer range experienced is astounding.

Businessmen And Ghosts, the band's debut, is a tour de force from start to finish, proving the band as natural successors to the best of British epic dance exporters like UNKLE and David Holmes, with bells on. Key tracks include Asleep At The Wheel, All American Taste and Push The Button.

Jojo Burger Tempest is the astonishing second album, and follows some prominent synchs, including a bespoke composition for the longest ad in TV history (Hovis - Ringan Ledwidge). It is a vast, expansive journey, each track tripping you up with a new killer riff or beat. Our faves include Pachinko, Autoblue and Faster Daniel Faster.
