Holy Scum (UK / US)

Mike Mare (voc, synth), Peter Taylor (baritone git), Al Wilson (baritone git), Chris Haslam (b), Jon Perry (dr)

Holy Scum is a band from Manchester, and their name perfectly reflects the visceral snarl of their music – a blend of raw sludge, noise, and improvisational rock. Since their debut, the band has made waves at festivals like Le Guess Who? and Roadburn. Holy Scum features Peter J Taylor (formerly of Action Beat), Chris Haslam (GNOD) on bass, Jon Perry (GNOD, Shuck) on drums, and Mike Mare (Dälek) on vocals and synthesizers. Their second album, All We Have Is Never, will be released in 2025, recorded in the Scottish wilderness. The band delivers a unique noise-rock experience, challenging chaos with intense energy, brought to life in their live shows.
