About Me

The Good Hurt have split and are no longer available for bookings, Thankyou for the support. Members can be reached individually here: http://www.myspace.com/drongomala http://www.myspace.com/thesinik http://www.myspace.com/drumtreeFormed and based in Manchester, UK. We dig all genres except New Jack Swing which gets us agitated.Our influences are scientific, romantic, realistic, cinematic and nihilistic - coupled with the daddy of all influences - context.Prescription No 1, the first EP, is super-punk oik one minute while classic and well structured the next. We love variety. We recorded and mixed the EP in two days and made sure that the energy went straight to the recording...no tricks - it's all playing. We dig the challenge of breeding an eclectic yet coherent output and we are as likely to use a wobbly synth or accordion as we are a distorted guitar.We're gigging all over Manc and killing it - come and see us play please - we guarantee a good time. We're The Good Hurt.C'mon Suck the Zeitgeist or at least lick it a couple of times.Get Prescription No1 on iTunes (click) Buy a Physical Copy from CDBaby
