Martial Arts

Description

Manchester five-piece Martial Arts heads to V11 in Rotterdam with a sound that sits between post-punk bite and jangly indie-pop lift. The listing compares them to bands such as The Murder Capital, The Chameleons, Wunderhorse and Shame, which gives a fair sense of the territory: sharp guitar lines, tension, momentum, and songs that do not mind getting a little rough around the edges.

They played Left of the Dial last year and now return to Rotterdam for a headline show of their own. The page also points to their connection with the classic Manchester sound, while stressing that the band mixes that heritage with a more modern indie and post-punk approach. The suggested track is Defector.
