The Battery Farm Announce “I’ve Never Been To Gorton”

I’ve Never Been to Gorton is the third single from The Battery Farm‘s latest EP, Dirty Den’s March of Suffering. A stomping jangle-punk number, it is a marked departure from the heavy gutter punk stylings of the band’s previous work, employing a lighter sheen and a more obvious tongue in cheek sensibility than its predecessors. The song is about becoming embroiled in mundane, slightly bizarre obsessions like having never been to Gorton, West Manchester. It says that things that don’t matter sometimes matter most, and celebrates the humdrum because… why not? It also doubles as a handy guide to places to visit, or not, in Greater Manchester.

“We are The Battery Farm; a Gutter Punk four-piece from Manchester playing punishing, pulverising rock music brimming with pain and passion. The Battery Farm was formed in March 2019 by brothers Ben and Dominic Corry. It was formed as a cry of despair; a terrified and furious response to a world that rapidly seems to be going wrong. This is reflected in the sound of the band which is frantic, visceral and violent but also laced with beauty and melody. Our sound has been compared to bands like PIL, Fugazi and Pere Ubu while maintaining something thrillingly real, original and human. We write about ourselves and the world we see around us with guttural honesty and searing compassion.”
