Scissorgun - Scream If You Wanna Go Faster

Scissorgun were formed in Manchester in August 2016.

They are an electronic trio comprised of Dave Clarkson (formerly of Triclops) on synths, rhythms, tapes and percussion, Alan Hempsall (formerly of Factory Act Crispy Ambulance) on vocals, treated guitar, samples, loops and Adrian Ball (light show and projections). The musical scope is varied, one minute pastoral dreams, the next crashing swathes of noise chased down with a dub twist.

What the critics say:

“Scissorgun create Northern electronic shanties and sound collages that feel like snapshots of a city at night, moving from drunken chaos to minicab grime reveries to a new dawn, electronic beauty” – Mojo.

“Stop dreaming of wires and feel those rivets” – Electronic Sound.

“Full of power and beauty, the ideas are varied and clever.” – TQ Magazine.

 “If they unearth a chunk of portentous Black Mirror outtakes any time soon, you wouldn’t bet against Scissorgun being the main soundtrack protagonists.” – Flipside Reviews

“Subverting expectations.” – Gated Canal Community.
