SINGLE REVIEW: Millie Manders And The Shut Up – Angry Side b\/w Can I Get Off? (self-released)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Millie Manders And The Shut Up are a four-piece cross-genre punk band from Norwich\/London who have been winning lots of new fans over the last five years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fronted by the eponymous Millie Manders, they started out as a ska-punk band, but have morphed into something far more interesting, introducing elements of pop, metal and post-hardcore into their sound.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They released their debut album Telling Truths, Breaking Ties<\/em> (reviewed here<\/a><\/strong>) in 2020, and have spent the intervening years building a reputation as an exciting live band.<\/p>\n\n\n

Now, ahead of their long-awaited second album, they’ve unleashed a double A-side single of new material, with a short tour to accompany the release.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Angry Side<\/em>, described by the band as “a letter to and from your angry inner teenager”, with Millie in self-analytic mode from the off as she sings “Things I did when I was 17 still haunt me in my daydreams”, before confessing “I only knew my angry side.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s a huge slice of joyous, sax-soaked pop-punk, and it’s so infectious that you’ll be singing along long before the end.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
