Release Notes:
Manchester synth quartet Performance return with a
brilliant new EP entitled 'Short Sharp Shock'.
A chance meeting outside a Manchester cafe
signalled the inception of this chicane and the
departure fusing machine of energy and bustling
beats.s
The title track in itself is enough to revive the
Hacienda spirit, even in those who have never heard
of it or weren't even born during its heyday.
The cutting vocals of Joe Stretch and the roving
keyboards of Joe Cross are decorated by the
shuddering bass of Laura Cross, and then kicked
into the middle of next year by Billie Marsden's
jolting percussion and new wave backing vocals.
The track cries out bemusement and builds up rhythm
to rival contemporaries the White Rose Movement and
The Bravery. This is hard edged, future perfect,
pop.
Limited (500 copies) double pack 7".
