Legendary noise rock trio mclusky are back, and they’ve just announced a run of UK shows to mark the release of their forthcoming new album—yes, their first in almost two decades.
Originally formed in Cardiff, Wales in the late ’90s, mclusky carved out a reputation for their blistering live performances, razor-sharp wit, and caustic, anthemic noise rock. Fronted by the incomparable Andrew Falkous (vocals/guitar), alongside drummer Jack Egglestone and bassist Jon Chapple (later replaced by Damien Sayell of The St. Pierre Snake Invasion), the band produced some of the most celebrated underground rock records of the early 2000s.
Their landmark albums—“mclusky do Dallas” (2002) and “The Difference Between Me and You Is That I’m Not on Fire” (2004)—remain cult classics, brimming with raw energy, dark humor, and unforgettable hooks. Tracks like “To Hell With Good Intentions” “Lightsabre Cocksucking Blues” and “Alan Is A Cowboy Killer” became anthems for fans of punk, noise rock, and the absurd.
Though they disbanded in 2005, mclusky have since reformed for occasional tours and shows, igniting a new wave of devotion among fans old and new. Their ability to balance ferocity, sarcasm, and melody remains unmatched.
