It seems like most Endless Hum gigs have at least one Wrong Speed Record’s bands on the bill, so we are very happy to announce the first ever Wrong Speed Fest North event. A collaboration between Endless Hum and the UK’s finest label Wrong Speed Records, home to the likes of Hey Colossus, Irked, Enablers, Objections, Part Chimp and many more. 

The line-up has been carefully selected by the label themselves and performances will take place at Kirkgate Community Centre, Shipley, Bradford. We’ll also have live projections, merchandise, craft ale from the Triangle, food vendors and of course a Wrong Speed Records merch stall.

WRONG SPEED FEST NORTH

Saturday 23rd May

Poster by Matt Reid

OBJECTIONS (Leeds)

A ridiculously impressive trio featuring 2/3 of Bilge Pump and a Nape Neck. In fact, we love them so much we’ve put them on twice before. If you caught them at one of these shows, or listened to any of their recent radio sessions for all round good egg Marc Riley, you’ll know what to expect; noisy, rhythmically diverse yet danceable fun. Their debut album ‘Optimistic Sizing’ was one of the best records on 2024.

FFO: Deerhoof, ESG, Pavement, Bilge Pump, Shellac

IRKED (Tyne & Wear)

Formed in 2022; IRKED quickly gained attention as veterans of the UK DIY scene. Scaring audiences into submission, IRKED are satisfying the demand for urgent, snarling, politically motivated punk – served up with a salty dose of humour and sass – think pissed off, but ready to party. Irked first played for us in 2024 at Northern Monk Refectory, as part of our patrons series of beers with the brewery so we are very pleased to bring them back to Bradford.

Lyrically covering personal politics, inner-circle politics, work politics, and class politics and set to the backdrop of thee finest Saints / Stiff Richards / Wipers-inspired rippers, IRKED’s debut album The Grievance is out on 1st May.

For fans of: Downtown Boys, Alien Nosejob, Uranium Club, Surfbort, Pissed Jeans, G.L.O.S.S, Gouge Away, The Shitty Limits.

BLIND EYE (Nottingham)

Raging HC from Nottingham. Ex and current members of Bloody Head, Heresy, Dead In The Woods, Wolves! Of Greece (one of the greatest bands of all time*), Army Of Flying Robots. Fronted by the urgent vocals of Anmarie Spaziano. New album “Mistrust Your Nation” due on on WSR soon this year.

SCIENCE FICTION (UK)

Brand new music from Nottingham/Ilkley/London/Shropshire. Featuring folks from Bob Tilton, Lords, Brown Owl, Wolves! Of Greece (still one of the greatest bands of all time*), Hey Colossus, Kogumaza. Triumphant, scratchy, weirdo (secretly goth) post-punk. Recorded music is on the way. Come hear it first at this show.

THE BREEDLING (Norwich)

The brain child of Chris Spalton; The Breedling takes an inquisitive, DIY approach and attitude to the way sounds are manipulated. His latest album on Wrong Speed Records takes primal noise music and mixes it with qualities of doom, drone and electronica.

Additional reasons to join us:

As usual we’ll have projections, merchandise, great food and lots of alcoholic and non-alcoholic options provided by the ever awesome Triangle.
