Who’s coming to get their Christmas on at Whingefest next weekend?

And next up on the annunciator we have the absolutely marvellous @_dead_things joining our weekend at @theferretpreston may 2/3 next year. They’ve released two singles though us, and both flew out in record time. They are currently recording their debut full length album, and to say it is highly anticipated by those who have heard them is an understatement. Gathering immediate critical acclaim, this three piece, who specialise in songs about murderers who hail from central Lancashire, play gut wrenching rock and roll with complete charm and swagger. Dead things play the bank holiday sin-day alongside 7 other bands. Tickets available over at Skiddle starting at £15.

Have you put tickets for the WHINGEFEST ALL-DAYER XI on your list for Santa yet? 🎅 We’ve featured roughly 70 artists on the previous editions of Whingefest, including Loose Articles, Déjà Vega, IDLES (DJ), YAANG, Duvet, SLAP RASH, Pyncher, Peaness, Test Plan, Sly & The Family Drone, Mums, The DSM IV, Tits Up, Michael, The Battery Farm, Hauspoints, Gen & The Degenerates, Currentmoodgirl & many more. Check out who’s on the nice list for this Winter edition of #Whingefest ❄️: @stealingsheep - THE PROPULSIVE AVANT-POP REBELS OF LIVERPOOL BRINGING ENERGY BACK TO THE REAL WORLD. You might have stumbled across Stealing Sheep before-maybe their debut single ‘Shut Eye’ snuck into your feed as a rogue viral meme, lurking in the obscure corners of YouTube and TikTok catching your attention with their infectious avant pop, bold over the top visuals and gaming inspired looks that have gained the group a cult following over the years. Unapologetically both otherworldly and DIY, the new album and the launch of their own label marks a new era for Stealing Sheep: it’s a declaration of independence and a creative movement pulsating with kaleidoscopic joy and determination to bring energy back to the real world. // @slvrwngkllr - Industrial. Punk. Chaos. SILVERWINGKILLER is a Salford-based duo, welding aggressive bass, live breakbeats, and multilingual vocals into wild electronic punk. @_dead_things - 3-piece powerhouse embracing the grit of garage rock, while flaunting fractured riffs and infectious melodies. Hailing from Preston, dead things, have a catalogue of post-punk ditties about chilling tales of old Lancashire and horror movie final girls. @dull.band_ - This new electronic noise & psych rock duo have been making a real splash in Lancaster & beyond - and now signed to the almost-ubiquitous CRACKED ANKLES of course. @filthydirty_blizzard - The clown prince of Evil Blizzard returns with his mystery guitar goblin. SKULL DUST - Haunted noise for the end times. …Aaaaaand, don’t forget your cordial hosts & “expert curators”: @whingeband - “Like the best bands; more a gang than a group.” - Cracked Ankles 🔗More info at theferret.live
