The very best music is like watching a band collectively ride the crest of an amazing wave. It almost doesn't even matter what song they play, their tone, their lyrics etc - what matters is the magic that comes from being right there on the edge of that wave. Enjoy the ride guys, this is fantastic.

Yess! I thought I was the only one who thought she looked like Jodie Comer. I feel like she almost goes into this trance while performing. There's something in her eyes where she just kind of glazes over and the words come out of her while the lads slash angular riffs in the background with a solid groove.

It's very good. Very creative. Not depending on much in the way of sonic manipulation, it's just extremely creative work that somehow both really draws you in but manages not to distract from the vocalist. It's actually a good counter balance to her very laid back delivery I guess you could say.

I saw Dry Cleaning last night at the Wedgwood Rooms, and the gig was everything I'd hoped for from a live performance. There was a powerful sound and juxtaposed calm put forward by the band. After two years in lockdown, music, dry ice, and lighting was medicine for the soul. The support PVA is one to watch out for too. Ty DC ✌
