Polytechnic
Signed to label: Transgressive
Dylan Giles - guitar, vocals
Yuri Caul - bass, vocals
Denny Hilton - guitar, vocals
Pete Earnshaw - keyboards
Tim Warren - drums
The five members of Polytechnic met and formed their band in 2005 at Manchester University (which, incidentally, is not a polytechnic). Rather like a lean and hungry Gomez, their krautrock influenced college drone has started pricking up interest, following their support of Doves and Morning Runner last year. Expect to hear a lot more from them.
