SOON #03

In this section we try to bring you the most exciting sounds from the North West and beyond. Some we found by scouring around the few remaining independent venues in Manchester and Liverpool, some we found on bandcamp and a few we came across through people emailing us their music. Regardless, they're who we think will be melting your brain very soon. The SOON section of the zine is the only section that is instantly available online, other content will go online after the issue is published.
