You may not have noticed but Already Heard<\/b> has been a longtime advocate of the UK DIY scene. In the past, we’ve highlighted underground acts in a variety of ways. Most notably our former “Something For The Weekend”<\/a> feature and our second “Recommends” compilation<\/a> highlighted a crop of exciting bands.<\/p>\n

To continue on the tradition, we asked Cheshire emo\/shoegaze group Leatherneck<\/b> to pick out of nine underground bands you should be made aware of.<\/p>\n

Simmer<\/h2>\n

It’s not because we’re best buds, it’s the fact that they churn out bangers like there’s no tomorrow. Their new line up is as fresh as a daisy and the hits keep on flowing. Alex wanted me to use this to get Ju back and call him a prick but he’s a top lad. They all are, lasses included.<\/p>\n

Paper Prisms by Simmer<\/a><\/p>\n

Restrict<\/h2>\n

Straight up hardcore from Manchester. They recently released their self-titled EP and it goes harder than Dot Cotton on a 20 deck of B&H. They’re a top notch bunch of lads too.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Claw the Thin Ice<\/h2>\n

We’d all be buzzing if we could conjure up anthems at the speed and quality that these guys do. Their last full length ‘Exercise’<\/i> is the dogs bollocks and it still surprises us that they’re yet to sell out the arenas.<\/p>\n

Exercise by Claw The Thin Ice<\/a><\/p>\n

Rain<\/h2>\n

Noisy tunes from Swindon. It’s a pleasure to release music on the same label as these fellas, and if their latest single ‘Solis’<\/i> is anything to go by, we know they’ll be massive very soon.<\/p>\n

Solis by Rain<\/a><\/p>\n

Pet Grief<\/h2>\n

It wasn’t all too long ago that our buds in Pet Grief<\/b> released their first track ‘Marks the Spot’<\/i>, and the wait was definitely worth it. They’re on tour next month and we’re dead excited to see them live, they have got so much to offer.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

The New Tusk<\/h2>\n

One of our Jake’s favourites, The New Tusk<\/b> are the gift that keeps on giving. Each song they write is an absolute banger, and their latest release ‘Sloom’<\/i> is incredible. If you’re a fan of riffs, wrap your head around these guys.<\/p>\n

Sloom by The New Tusk<\/a><\/p>\n

Water Canvas<\/h2>\n

These are absolute champions and genuinely a great bunch of guys. It was a pleasure to tour with them, and each night they were beyond flawless. They can’t half knock out a few anthems on the old karaoke either.<\/p>\n

Haunter by water canvas<\/a><\/p>\n

Doctrines<\/h2>\n

The cr\u00e8me de la cr\u00e8me of Manchester. Seriously underrated band that crank out record after record impeccably, keep your eyes peeled.<\/p>\n

S\/T by Doctrines<\/a><\/p>\n

Mums<\/h2>\n

Fuzzy noise from Widnes, hands down one of the best (and loudest) live bands around.<\/p>\n

Honey by Aeroplane Flies High<\/a><\/p>\n

\u2019Lighting Up The Tilt Sign’<\/em> by Leatherneck<\/strong> is out now on Close To Home Records<\/b>.<\/p>\n
