Fresh off the heels of their critically acclaimed debut, Telling Truths, Breaking Ties, Millie Manders and The Shutup are gearing up to release their second album later this year, promising another dose of their signature ferocious and joyous live energy. Renowned for a sound that fuses grinding guitars with irresistible horns and candid lyrics, MMATSU is a band that’s hard to pin down and impossible to ignore.
Punk Rock With Pop Appeal
Championed by major outlets like BBC Radio 1’s Rock Show, BBC Introducing, Radio X, and Vive Le Rock, MMATSU delves into themes of loss, betrayal, anxiety, heartbreak, and socio-political unrest. Their music isn’t just a backdrop for the mosh pit but a rallying cry for those who crave depth with their decibels, combining punk attitude with pop sensibility in a way that’s as thought-provoking as it is thrilling.
An Explosive Live Experience
Known for their explosive live shows, MMATSU has announced a string of UK tour dates that will surely be a testament to their dynamic stage presence. Starting in Colchester at Three Wise Monkeys on April 10 and wrapping up in London at Downstairs at the Dome on May 16, the tour will cover a wide swath of the UK, from Cardiff to Edinburgh.
Not Just Music, But a Movement
Beyond their music, MMATSU’s commitment to sustainability and community shines through. The band prioritizes eco-friendly merchandise and supports charitable causes through sales of limited-edition artwork and clothing. It’s this blend of fierce music and firm ethics that has solidified their place in the heart of the UK’s punk scene and beyond.
