Ventrelles, Senses, Handsome Rat | Eagle Inn, Salford

Join In Your Ears Music this March as we bring you 3 class bands to the Eagle Inn!

Ventrelles 

Ventrelles, ‘…reminiscent of iconic bands like Echo & the Bunnymen The Chameleons, Doves Ventrelles skilfully pay homage to these acts while infusing a contemporary edge reminiscent of The War On Drugs DIIV ‘The Pentatonic’

‘Sounds like a crescendo, a mancunian sonic landscape, layered with poignant lyrics and wearing its references proudly on its sleeve’ ‘In Your Ears Music’

‘wonderfully scenic and magnetically attractive shimmer guitar pop’ ‘XS Noise’

Senses

SENSES are: Brian, Kav, Ronan and Ian.

They combine arena ready hooks with evocative soundscapes to create their compelling sound. Equally influenced by shoegaze romanticism, alternative experimentation, and indie ambition, they have been making music and gigging around the UK since they formed.

SENSES first met while attending school in Coventry, UK and all come from Irish heritage. The quartet bonded over a shared love of diverse, underground music and their chemistry was instantly apparent in their early demos, which attracted attention from several major labels. Buoyed by radio support from BBC Radio 1, BBC Radio 2 and Radio X, the group gigged across the UK and started work on their debut recordings with Gavin Monaghan (Editors, The Blinders, Kid Kapichi).

Handsome Rat

Hailing from Manchester, HandsomeRat have written steadily together for a number of years with the aim of creating honest, guitar centred songs.

Whether "Haunting and Atmospheric" (Lemon Fire Brigade), or bringing '"A whole lot of energy and a whole lot of catchiness" (Unheard Indie Podcast), or sometimes just being "Perfect" (Ricky Spence - To Indie and Beyond), HandsomeRat seek enjoyment, improvement and consistency in writing and self producing every day.
