Hauspoints, Fordton Leisure and Machine 3

Hauspoints are bringing it all back home, to Chorley's Trader Jacks.

Exploring a distinctly northern viewpoint on modernity, Hauspoints’ songs are like a love letter to popular culture, finding beauty in the mundane minutiae and celebrating the quirkiness of human existence.

Established on a dilapidated industrial estate at the foot of an overgrown hill in darkest Lancashire, their debut album, Eel Feeling, is a beat-heavy rasp that treads an unfurrowed path aside multiple genres without straying too far into the obscure.

Warrington goth/psyche/punk infused outfit, Fordton Leisure are an act that have impressed from the get-go, with only one single on Bandcamp, 'March Of The Triffids' is a spacey and visceral trip. With a suitably edgy live show to boot, this is a band that mean business. 

Fellow Chorley mainstays Machine 3 bring their punk attitudes, their lack of a drummer doesn't leave anything lacking in sound- the titular 'Machine' is as much a part of the show as the band themselves, being something of a fourth member to the group.
