Manchester's Bruise Control are a ferocious force in the UK's DIY punk scene. Formed by Jim Taylor (vocals), Tommy Victor Morris (drums), Niall Griffin (guitar/bass), and Devon Cryer (guitar), the band blends the raw energy of 80s hardcore with the angular edge of 00s indie. Their debut album, Useless For Something, showcases their chaotic live shows and self-produced ethos. Tracks like "Taxman" and "Dead on Arrival" highlight their blend of garage punk, post-punk, and dance-punk influences, drawing comparisons to Pissed Jeans, Amyl and the Sniffers, and Black Midi.
