We\u2019ve been keeping an eye on Cheshire trio Simmer.<\/b> for the best part of eighteen months. Having previously been featured in our \u201cRecommends\u201d<\/b><\/a> series, and more recently included in our list of “50 Bands to Watch in 2016”<\/a>, it is safe to say we\u2019re big admirers of the atmospheric shoegaze\/punk three-piece.<\/p>\n

Later this month they release their debut LP, \u2018Paper Prisms\u2019<\/i>. Delivered in a wave of hazy instrumentation and melancholic vocals, Simmer<\/b>\u2019s first full-length sees the trio emerse themselves in subtle punk, grunge and 90s alt rock as seen on recent single ‘Charles\u2019<\/i>. As a collection, ‘Paper Prisms\u2019<\/i> is a compelling set of songs that expands on the ideas founded on past releases.<\/p>\n

Because we\u2019ve highlighted the band so much in the past, we decided to hand them some power and to tell us about 9 bands from the UK\u2019s ever-growing DIY scene that you need to hear!<\/p>\n

<\/figure>\n

<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n

Leatherneck<\/h2>\n

Moody punk bangers from our very good friends in Northwich, Cheshire (we\u2019d still like them even if they weren\u2019t such good friends, honestly). Their guitarist Alex is bit of a twat, but other than that, we can\u2019t fault them really. <\/p>\n

Monochrome \/ Derailed by Leatherneck<\/a><\/p>\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n

Rain<\/h2>\n

Naughty noise from Swindon. We\u2019re really looking forward to finally playing with these guys and even sharing our album launch with them for their EP launch, too.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n

Water Canvas<\/h2>\n

Banger after banger. This band should probably massive, and they probably will be. We\u2019re revising our lyrics to sing along on tour like a teenage girl. <\/p>\n

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

\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n

Muskets<\/h2>\n

Grunge legends. We had the best time on tour with these guys, and we\u2019re so happy that they\u2019re doing so well. I hope they\u2019ll remember us when they\u2019re huge. We did some weird things with Joe, too. <\/p>\n

Spin by Muskets<\/a><\/p>\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n

Doctrines<\/h2>\n

We\u2019ve been huge on this band since their first release was recommended to us. If they wanted to, they could be the best & biggest punk in the country! Saying that, it would take us a lifetime to write songs like theirs, so I get it.<\/p>\n

ANX by Doctrines<\/a><\/p>\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n

Claw The Thin Ice<\/h2>\n

A massively underrated band who go about their business quietly. The nicest guys who write record after record almost effortlessly. <\/p>\n

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

\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n

Wallflower<\/h2>\n

We\u2019ve had the pleasure of playing with these band just the once, but they blew us away. We\u2019re looking forward to sharing the stage with them more in the future. FFO: Balance & Composure, Brand New, Basement.<\/p>\n

Summer Daze by Wallflower<\/a> <\/p>\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n

Dissolve<\/h2>\n

Fairly new on the scene, but we\u2019re constantly playing their debut EP ‘Blue\u2019<\/i>. Download it here<\/a>. <\/p>\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n

Barely<\/h2>\n

\nJust one guy making beautiful tunes in his room. We wanted him in our band but he\u2019s too good for us.<\/p>\n

GETTING BACK by Barely<\/a><\/p>\n

‘Paper Prisms\u2019<\/i> by Simmer<\/b>. is released on February 29th on Dog Knights Productions<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Simmer.<\/b> links: Facebook<\/a>|Twitter<\/a>|Tumblr<\/a><\/p>\n
