Gengahr at Band on the Wall

Johnny James, Managing Editor
Band on the Wall

Gengahr at Band on the Wall, Manchester 13 February 2020 Entrance is free — Visit now

North London alt-pop four-piece Gengahr sound like a band reinvigorated. Following their acclaimed 2015 debut album A Dream Outside, they perhaps played it a little too safe with 2018’s Where Wildness Grows. Genrahr’s latest album, though, promises to be their finest body of work to date. Produced by Jack Steadman of Bombay Bicycle Club, the first tracks we’ve heard from Sancturary sparkle with life. Full of complex layers and eclectic sounds, they signify an exciting new stage for the band. Ride the wave with them at Band on the Wall this February.
