About us



Gasperilla exploded onto the Manchester music scene in January 2007 at the launch party for Manchester’s hub of new sound recording talent, S-S-R. Hours old, assembled as a showpiece for an audience of the most fine-tuned ears in the UK, Gasperilla baptised the new live bunker fantastic.

The band’s mastermind, captivating front man and producer Neil Grainey soon had them back in the studio and two projects later the band agreed that this should only be the start.

Majority former members of Manchester Battle of the Band winners The Hustle, Gasperilla combine Manc swagger and mighty vocals with stunningly graceful duelling guitars, intricate and potent bass licks and a drummer thunderous enough to sink a battle ship. Gasperilla play it hard, fast and loud with all the talent and spite of musicians who have done some time on the scene but with the fierce energy of the fresh new band that they are. You can hear the influence of the city’s music on the band, but their sound is satisfyingly hard to pin down. Think an unpredictable, if not unimaginable Frankenstein’s monster of The Stone Roses, Guns n Roses and The Rolling Stones and you may be somewhere close.

One week on from uploading the tunes onto Xfm Manchester’s talent magnet of a website and the band became the week’s most listened-to band. With an ever-expanding fanbase, Gasperilla are catapulting their crimson and black clatter into the spotlight. They now have the chance to utilise their spark on a wider audience and continue to rock some of the hottest venues in town.

Make it so listeners. You were here first.
