Employment

High-energy indie rock defined by sharp British wit, terrace-style chants, and angular new wave synths. A definitive snapshot of the 2000s UK guitar scene.

The ultimate collection of shout-along anthems for when you're sick of your job but ready for the weekend.

A high-octane blend of northern English cynicism and infectious, festival-ready optimism.

Moments Worth Waiting For

The explosive, multi-tracked 'Na Na Na Na Naa' chorus that demands immediate audience participation.

The sudden shift from the driving verses to the soaring, melodic bridge in 'Everyday I Love You Less and Less'.

The eerie, minimalist synth line that opens 'Oh My God' before the full band crashes in.
