**HAARM** is a Manchester-born indie rock outfit known for their gritty yet melodic take on modern guitar music. Blending post-punk urgency with catchy hooks, the quartet—Joe Clarke (vocals/guitar), Si McGrath (guitar), Tom McCartney (bass), and James Walker (drums)—burst onto the scene in 2018 with a DIY ethos and a knack for writing anthems about everyday chaos. Their sound, equal parts raw energy and sharp lyricism, nods to Manchester’s rich musical legacy while carving out a fresh, relatable identity.
Tracks like “Something Good,” “Fight You Hard,” and “Take Me Away” showcase their signature mix of driving rhythms, wiry guitars, and Clarke’s wry observations on love, burnout, and navigating adulthood. With releases like *Bang Goes The Gun* and *Lovin’ On Borrowed Time*, HAARM balances restless energy with moments of introspection, earning them a rep as festival favorites and studio tinkerers who thrive on live-wire spontaneity. Keep an eye on their Bandcamp—they’re all about keeping it real, loud, and unapologetically Northern.
