Grimy indie poppers Mindshock are a Preston based band that formed in 2008.
Since then, they've supported bands such as Joy Formidable and have been on 6 Music and Radio 1's Huw Stephens’ show.
With driving drums, punchy bass and a distorted tune of delayed guitar riffs, Mindshock's tracks have a sound that isn't clean and isn't perfect. Danny's haunting vocals cut through with lyrics that embody alienation, freedom and optimism.
Mindshock strive for an idealistic mentality; their mission is to express the idea of wanting to be something better.
Their 2009 EP 'Dream Story' and the 2010 follow up
‘Social Anxiety Club’ are available on iTunes and Amazon.

"I can hear a lot of very promising signs coming from Mindshock, it’s the sound of a band who have got something to sing about and can wrap it up in a decent tune, which puts them well ahead of a lot of their peers in my eyes." THE BEAT SURRENDER''The vocal performances are strong, powerful and deep. 'Mindshock' have a darker edge to them, raw guitars, strong melodies with eerie undertones.'' AUDIO SCRIBBLER"Mindshock were a different species. They had a beautiful ability at dropping the music right down at key moments and guitars that ranged from pure Muse to melodies that The Edge wouldn’t turn his nose up at."
GUESTLIST'‘Mindshock’ blend a cuisine of edgy melodic, weird & wonderful pop songs!'' Tom Robinson, BBC 6 MUSIC"Lancashire’s Mindshock are the very definition of ‘intriguing’. The subtle guitar and drums suddenly sheer into a blaze of thunder and ire, over which beckons the least expected rock voice in unsigned music this side of small island folk music." HIGH VOLTAGE MAGAZINE .''MINDSHOCK who are the one of the new breed of indie bands taking over the mantle of our fallen 'giants'. Mind-blowing in the vocal department with an array of stand-out tracks.'' HED MAG"The indie staple of bass, guitars and drums is deployed to fire past a series of fresh, poppy sounds with the speed of an MP completing their expense returns."
