Next Wave: Working Men's Club
Workings Men's Club is one of the finest new comer bands to emerge this year. Hailing from Todmorden in West Yorkshire, England, the band were formed in mid-2018 by vocalist/guitarist Sydney Minsky-Sargeant, guitarist Giulia Bonometti, and drummer Jake Bogacki. The band is known for their very unique turbulent post punk sound which draws influences from both the 80's and early 90's. After releasing a single "Bad Blood" heavily influenced by guitar-based post-punk, Working Men's Club signed to Heavenly Records under which they released their self titled debut album. Their lead single "Valley" is where you will certainly feel the 90's influence both in sound and video production.
