MAN/WOMAN/CHAINSAW

Hotly tipped London based punk/noise/pop group MAN/ WOMAN/CHAINSAW make a Belfast debut. Support from the excellent CABL. Man/Woman/Chainsaw dance on the fine line between noise and beauty - and have made themselves at home right there. Founded by two school friends who started making music together at the age of 14, the band is now an integral part of London's art rock scene - young, wild and hard to pin down. At the end of 2025, Man/Woman/Chainsaw announced their signing to Fiction Records, home to The Cure, St. Vincent, The Horrors and Billie Marten amongst others, with the beguiling single "Only Girl", recorded at RAK Studios with Geordie Greep producer Seth Evans & Margo Broom, who also worked with the band on their previous single "Adam & Steve". Early in 2026, with more music set to land in the near future, Man/Woman/Chainsaw find themselves standing confidently at the very forefront of a new wave of British bands "most likely to". Described by Rolling Stone at SXSW as "a young band in the process of inventing something ecstatically new", the London-based six-piece, a close-knit group formed by friends Billy Ward & Vera Leppänen at only 16 years old, have already secured significant attention from the likes of The Quietus, Guardian, NME, The Line Of Best Fit, DIY, So Young, Stereogum, The Fader, BBC 6 Music and more.
