WELCOME BACK TO A NEW YEAR’S INSTALLMENT OF A PERFECTLY CROMULENT PRODUCTION:
ALL HAIL HYENA: Unleashing alt-punk rock songs from Burnley & Pendle, UK
With a history spanning over ten years, ALL HAIL HYENA has become a hallmark of innovation in the UK’s music scene. With over 1 million music streams, the trio first caught widespread attention with their Amazon Prime Video concert film, Cathedral Of Cubs. Filmed at St. George’s Church in Manchester, this stunning feature showcases live performances of their catalogue, capturing the raw energy and emotion that defines their music.
The band’s rise to fame accelerated with a viral sensation—a video showing them performing a surprise gig in a fan’s garden in St. Helens. This creative outreach not only delighted their No. 1 fan but has also captivated over 80 million viewers across social media so far, significantly expanding their global following, reaching over 1 million streams on Spotify to date.
Now, with thousands of monthly listeners on Spotify from around the world, ALL HAIL HYENA continues to gather a growing audience. They’ve shared stages with notable acts like Grandaddy and Ultrasound and have garnered praise from industry veterans, including John Robb of Louder Than War, who remarked that their live performances “fit more into one song than most bands have in an entire set.” Their sound has also impressed Tom Robinson of BBC6 Music, who praised it as “a real fresh, vigorous sound.

TRUNCHEON
A new 4 piece band emerged from the depths of Salford, these lads will bring you an array of alt/modernist music, with dreamy breakdowns, disgusting riffs, and hard hitting drum beats – all rolled up into one concoction of confusion and amazement. This could possibly be Salford’s first super group in God knows how long, with members featuring in such bands as Pfaff, Vogons, Trojan Horse, St Lucifer, Chrysalid Homo, Outside Now, and Life’s Marrow.
This will be Truncheon’s first gig, so come down and show your support!

They have played with The Blinders, Working Men’s Club, LIINES, Witch Fever, Red Rum Club and supported King No-One, Thomas Truax, The Blackheart Orchestra, Amy Studt, Twisted Wheel and Oya Paya and secured a highly prized opening slot at Confessional Festival in 2019.
Their second EP, Fag Ash Lil, was released on 8th January 2021 across all streaming platforms featuring brand new tracks, Internet Queen, Don’t Dream of Me and Fag Ash Lil. The EP was recorded during the pandemic between lockdowns and is highly anticipated following the success of their debut EP, Library Dreams.
They’ve just released a single titled ‘SUGAR’ from their upcoming EP, that brings soft beats with a melancholic vocal melody that should in theory make you feel a bit sad, but overall is very uplifting. These two are not to be missed, they’re truly a wonderful act.
