Millie Manders and The Shutup.

Cross-genre punk rock is increasingly hard to ignore. With appearances at notable festivals such as Boomtown and Rebellion, extensive support from the likes of BBC Introducing and Radio X, the last few years have propelled Millie Manders and The Shutup into the public conscience and music industry at large.

Fronted by Millie Manders, whose staggering vocal dexterity, backed by grinding guitars and irresistible horns has huge pop appeal. The lyrics deliberate on themes of loss, betrayal, anger, anxiety, heartbreak and bitterness, environmental catastrophe and political unrest.
