Working For A Nuclear Free City

Claiming to be influenced by the Chemical Brothers and The Greatful Dead, Working for a nuclear free city brings a new electronica sound to their home town of Manchester, England. Their first American release, Buisnessmen & Ghosts, was released in November 2007 on Deaf, Dumb and Blind Records. Their droney electronic sound mixed with guitar and drums bares comparison to an electronic version of Explosions in the Sky. They will be at SXSW 08.
