The sick fix

the king’s arms 

8:30-9:15pm 

The Sick Fix from.Manchester are Leo Mitchell, Alfie Radford, Oli Jaques, and Ted Wright; they’ve all just finished their GCSEs; and are now preparing to take on the music industry with their own version of energetic garage indiepunk that’s sprinkled with musical influences throughout decades, ranging from The Small Faces and The Sonics, through The Jam, The Clash and The Fall, right up to The Libertines and The Hives. Within these young egos lies a confidence that what they are doing is right, and have taken their influences, and their parents’ influences , and mixed them into a sound from the ages. You can hear traces of 60s The Who and Small Faces; 70s Clash, The Fall and The Jam; 80s Smiths, 90s Britpop, and 00s Libertines in there – and only the best bits too. Whatever, as Leo says, “We are the best f*@king band you haven’t seen yet.”
