Formal Sppeedwear @ Yellow Arch Studios

Stoke-on-Trent three-piece Formal Sppeedwear are already masterful studio architects of irresistibly hooky, jagged post-punk. The quavering, echoed yelps that immediately open their brand new single “Who Needs Spain Ball?” will have you believe it’s David Byrne, right down to his cadence. Serrated 12-string electric riffs exactly like those pioneered by late ’70s XTC and Television then collide with that voice, setting off an urgency that’s sustained by a thrusting krautrock groove.Catch them in Sheffield and Leeds this November.
