about

Fresh off the back of UK festival performances including bluedot, Solfest and their monumental conquering of Kendal Calling’s ‘Calling Out’ stage, Vacant Weekend drop their latest single ‘Manchester’.

Having gained support across a run of singles compiled on the band’s debut EP ‘Marlboro Reds’ released earlier this year via Manchester based indie label Cosmic Glue, Vacant Weekend ride the wave of their success having received early prise from Chris Hawkins on BBC Radio 6 Music, Most Radacalist and more.

“I Loved this the first time I heard it, very very funky.”
- Chris Hawkins, BBC 6 Music

“In a way reminiscent of The Kooks, they’ve blended 70s funk influences with a deep understanding of what made mid-2000s indie bands so memorable: massive choruses and groovy verses.” - Most Radacalist

‘Manchester’ sees the band explore adolescent uncertainty through infectious grooves and insightful lyrics, offering a relatable snapshot of young minds anxious to fit in.

“Their so much cooler than me, but i’ll never let them know, because i’m only bringing the trendiest of my clothes…”

“Manchester is a really special song to us, it’s one of the first songs we wrote as we were coming to the end of our adolescence and explores being too unwell for the next stage of our lives. So far, it’s the most raw and cathartic single we’ve put out.” - Vacant Weekend

With a sonic tapestry that continues to showcase the band’s skillful musicianship, ‘Manchester’ subtly merges funk influences reminiscent of previous outings with anthemic indie elements to create a soundscape that is equally as groovy as it is endearing.

Their sound oversees the coming-together of dry, clean and funky syncopation, attentive harmonic choices and gritty adolescent themes - performed by losers with excellent musicianship. Vacant Weekend are if nothing else: uniquely themselves. ... more
