Looking For A Night Out Freshers Week? We Might Have Something For You.
Four metal bands taking the stage at Aatma!
Welcome to the first installment of the PCP end of year showcase!
To kick it all off, we have Nottingham legends A-Tota-So:
a-tota-so are a noisy rock band based in the UK, they write music inspired by grunge, mathrock and post hardcore and love to get guest vocalists to join them live and have worked with 80 different guests so far (and counting)
Also sometimes written as atotaso , it’s kinda like “I told you so” – dumb name, big riffs!
They’ve just released two new belting singles earlier in the year, “Death Rattle” and “Form of Mass”, following their upcoming album release in September “I Told You So”.
You can listen to them here:

POPTONES, are an alt-rock band from Copenhagen, with a mixture of dulcet tones and eerie vocals at times, then into hard hitting noise and distorted vox. It’s like listening to a theatre production of a descent into madness. We’re all here for it. They’re out and about touring with the A-Tota-So lads, so if Marty reckons they’re the dog’s bollocks, then you’re surely in for a good show.

TRUNCHEON
You’ve seen these lads a couple of times now, but as they’re fairly new (and brilliant), it’s only fair to put them on and push them as much as possible. If you want alt-rock/grunge, with a hint of prog, this is the band to see.
We’re expecting an EP out later in the year, so keep your ears peeled for that.
TÜNG
These two chaps are a sight to see, instrumental math-rock, with only banjo and drums, so they’ll fit right in with the roster of bands on for the night.
They’ve just released a three track EP, which you can listen to here:
Manchesters legendary underground soul club returns for its only 2026 event. Underground & Uptempo Rare & Northern Soul.
With support from Infrared

In order to prove their worth, 2Crule must takeover Aatma and spin the hardest tunes you’ve heard since you spent three days breathing in dust with your head in the speakers somewhere in rural Albania, if you get what I mean. And who better than our specially selected series of magical Dj’s from around the Uk. Including Manchester’s favourite harcore pusher, Foulmouth, Jungals n Gays Skywalka spinning us some gnarly vinyl, Hull’s finest Sonboy going b2b with West Yorkshire princess, Juggin, Bristol/Gloucerster/Stroud?? Presents us with Panik Pusha, spinning sexy beats to make you kiss your mates to… We have Newcastle crew, Velocidad’s Dodgy Baccy, who promises to give Manchester a lesson in tribe… Finally we have a super special dj , Alfie G gracing up North with his own productions. All the while led by the self proclaimed Radikal Circus, promising to show you magic tricks and maybe their bums! (lol just kidding) You are cordially invited, so we’d best see you there.
