tickets →A visceral gang of youth rolling around in a sweaty pit of garage-psych riffage. Born out of Manchester’s growing garage/punk scene, Wax Head have made a strong name for themselves via their relentless gigging, sweaty live shows and garage-psych riffage. The drummer-fronted punk quartet launched onto the touring circuit supporting US psych & garage outfits. They’ve tapped into a vein of fuzzy Californian garage-rock and with an alternative DIY music ethos, they make up one of a number of exciting young artists changing the face of the city’s live circuit. In a scene saturated with jarring and angular post punk, Wax Head have stamped their chaotic psych noise on the North West.
The band’s sound has been championed by BBC6 Music and KEXP, receiving extensive airplay from the likes of Steve Lamacq, Deb Grant, and Emily Pilbeam. Debut album, 'GNAT' was released earlier this year via Sour Grapes Records.
