Bio
Cleavers are a punishingly loud melodic punk band from the Scottish Highlands.
In their short existence they’ve taken their ferocious live show all over the UK from basements to festival stages, caused stage invasions in Scandanavia, destroyed eardrums in mainland Europe and have been seen to attempt guitar solos with zimmer frames, flowers and cakes.
Their fierce DIY ethic and a strong drive has led them to self release their own vinyl, tapes, stickers, zines and a ridiculous amount of t-shirts with gnarly designs that have been sighted all over the world.
Their track Speak! Speak! was song of the month in The Scotsman newspaper and they were tipped as one of BBC Radio Scotland’s Top 35 Scottish Artists to watch in 2012. This, on top of support from the likes of Ally McRae, Vic Galloway and Music Vice dubbing them one of the best things to come out of Scotland in 2012, this year is set to be huge for Cleavers. With more touring planned throughout 2013, the self claimed 'Angry, bitter, noisy and harsh melodic punk rock' trio are a band not to be missed.
Their second 7”/EP Life Is Shit is out now via Da Da Tunes and has been well recieved by reviewers throughout the UK as well as recieving multiple plays on BBC radio stations.
