Tapeworms
TAPEWORMS may have a name that makes your skin crawl, but their music will have you dancing like there's no tomorrow. Hailing from the gritty streets of Manchester, this four-piece band is making waves in the underground music scene with their infectious blend of post-punk and lo-fi indie rock.
Fronted by the charismatic lead singer, Johnny Rotten (not to be confused with the Sex Pistols frontman), TAPEWORMS have been described as a mix between The Cure and The Strokes, with a dash of The Velvet Underground thrown in for good measure. Their music is equal parts brooding and catchy, with lyrics that speak to the disillusionment of youth in modern society.
But don't let their dark aesthetic fool you – TAPEWORMS are known for their wild live shows that have been compared to a mix between a punk rock gig and a circus. Expect to see crowd-surfing, stage diving, and even the occasional fire-breathing act (just kidding, Health and Safety would never allow that).
With influences ranging from Joy Division to Tame Impala, TAPEWORMS have managed to carve out a unique sound that is all their own. Their debut album, "Nightcrawlers," has been hailed as a masterpiece by critics and fans alike, and they show no signs of slowing down.
So next time you're in the mood for some music that will make you feel alive, give TAPEWORMS a listen. Just don't blame us if you find yourself headbanging in your bedroom at 3 am – it's a common side effect of their infectious tunes.
