Water From Your Eyes Offer UK Shows

27/5/2023

It's something of a mystery how it has taken so long for the wider world to take a glance in the direction of Water From Your Eyes and realise how much of what they're doing is not only devestantingly compelling but also entirely unique. Never a pairing to ease themselves into submission, 'Everyone's Crushed' finds them...

Bad Cop/Bad Cop - Rebellion, Manchester

24/5/2023

It feels like forever ago that we picked up our tickets to see Bad Cop/Bad Cop make their first Manchester appearance in far too long and, as well as the build-up of anticipation, this is largely due to the string of postponements which have beset this particular UK run.
