Biography

Formed in 2003 at Lancaster University, Palmstruck are now based in Manchester. As an ambitious band mixing accessible songs with elements of experimental soundscapes, the result is “pretty much unrelated to anything else going on in Manchester” (Cath Aubergine, manchestermusic.co.uk).

Founding members Rigg (vox/guitars/piano), Kip (synths/programming) and Al (drums & percussion) along with Mark (guitars/noise) and Jimi (bass) have sculpted the band’s current, and most impressive, form. Pounding drums and melodic bass are perfectly juxtaposed with ethereal keys, subtle vocals and unusual guitar effects. They have received consistent praise from the press and have earned the respect of some of the North West’s biggest promoters, earning support slots for the likes of 65daysofstatic and Two Gallants.

Their music is inspired by a variety of different artists, reflecting the diverse tastes of each band member. These range from Radiohead to Bjork, Deftones to Astor Piazzolla, The Bad Plus to Burial, Mono to Charles Mingus.

Palmstruck plan to spend 2011 finishing writing, recording and releasing their debut album.
