Band(ism) are a Manchester based pop-punk-folk, theatrical audio art project with edgy edges. They've been classed as 'more surreal than Leigh Bowery and the Mighty Boosh' by Designer Magazine, whilst taking hints of 'Devo, the Cure and the Buzzc*cks (Ed. wow, how rock are you xfm?) in their sound' by High Voltage. They've supported the likes of The Young Knives, Archie Bronson Outfit, Viva Voce, Polytechnic, Wild Billy Childish & The Buff Medways, Bobby Conn & The Glass Gypsies, Holly Golightly, Edward Barton, Duke Garwood, The Three Johns, Protokoll and Chikinki. Band(ism) are the future of music.

Carving through the ranks of miserabler-than-thou, power-chord-chugging pub-rock bands are Band(ism). Any whiff of pretension indicated by the parenthetical name is confirmed by singer Robin Nature-Bold in a creepy Porno Whistling Bob Harris-esque drawl: "We are an audio art project, we dress in white to represent the blank canvas which then projects music. We wear masks as a ironic jab at the anonymous nature of the generic band member." Nature-Bold concludes: "Entertainment won't save you" but it does help to make your evenings a bit more exciting.
