The alliance of Swinton, Pendleton and Wythenshaw may sound rum. A stentorian power trio hailing from those places sounds even worse! Formed in 2005 (though didnt gig till 2006, line up issues, usual shit) takin influences from anything and avioding "the" in front of their name, whipcord are what they are and thats it. Lo-fi, Loud, keen Motorhead fans, pink and black Flag wavers with tinnitus issues.
'It’s not pretty, it’s raw and ugly and it makes you want to go and break something and that alone makes Whipcord a force for good' - In The City Festival - 10/13 ROOM THIRTEEN
'Multiple types of distortion, sustain, feedback, powerful verging-on-possessed vocals, and all very very loud...they should be gracing some much bigger stages before long' - Academy 3 - 8/10 UBS SPOTLIGHT
'Their blend of music is perfect to rock out to, and is a welcome change from the generic indie bands that dominate the current Manchester music scene' BROKEN TOY BOX MUSIC
