Real good tidings provided courtesy of:GRASSHOPPER
Pounding post-punk & ethereal goth-wave bollox.
Based in Brighton/Manchester, grasshopper have recently supported Grant Hart (ex Husker Du/Nova Mob), Brix & The Extricated, Sonic Jesus and The Orielles to name a few. The band's two self-released EPs have been bestsellers in Resident Records (Brighton), and their debut 7" single has been played frequently on Gideon Coe and Steve Lamacq's BBC 6 Music shows.
"grasshopper’s debut 7” is keen to show its passion for post-punk... opening with a PiL bass-line before a gothy, junior Nick Cave-ish vocal arrives... the A-side, “Nothing Like Us”, has a jangling appeal, with hints of early Eighties Banshees and Psychedelic Furs flitting about" - The Arts Desk (December 2017)
