Manchester’s pop scene!
February 21 2009 | Category: Profiles
We like music zine The Line of Best Fit. It covers great artists (Fever Ray, M Ward, Sonic Youth and Grizzly Bear currently feature on the homepage), and it just feels nice and wholesome.
The lead story right now is by the city’s own Tom Whyman: Pop Scene Manchester is a round up of his favourite bands – and thankfully there’s not a Madchester revivalist in sight. Here’s who’s covered:
It’s a good mix: one or two you may have seen, a couple you might at least know by name, and some fresh names too! Check out the piece for interviews and audio samples.

Hey, like the site. You should check out The Roman Empire and give them a plug. Saw them last Sunday night – mainly two guys, Vinny and Robb, who play guitars and banjos and sing very funny songs about the weird and wonderful like how to bake bread and what to do in a plane crash. http://www.myspace.com/theromanempireband
Forthcoming gig at Ok Crayola at Fuel in Withington too (you don’t seem to have Fuel listed on your venues?)
Cheers,
