Speaking about the recently added second London date, Millie Manders says:

Millie Manders and The Shutup’s cross-genre punk rock has become increasingly hard to ignore over recent years. With main stage appearances at such notable festivals as Slam Dunk, Beautiful Days and Rebellion, and extensive support from the likes of BBC Introducing, Radio X and national press, the last two years have propelled the band into the public conscience and the music industry at large.
Fronted by Millie Manders, whose staggering vocal dexterity backed by grinding guitars and irresistible horns has huge pop appeal, their lyrics deliberate on themes of loss, betrayal, anxiety, heartbreak and bitterness, anger, environmental catastrophe and political unrest. With a conscience that ensures zero plastic wrapping on all merchandise and that limited edition artwork and clothing is sold to help raise money for charities, Millie Manders and The Shutup are striving to make a difference whilst keeping us uplifted and brilliantly entertained.
“An explosion of sound accompanied by lyrics designed to wake your mind right up; MMATSU deserve to go stratospheric with this release” VIVE LE ROCK MAGAZINE 10/10
“Hewn from the human heart and soul; this could and should be the album that elevates MMATSU from punk heroes to household names” DEVOLUTION MAGAZINE
“What a glorious experience it is. There really is no one else like this band, as they fuse punk, ska and rock with melodies and a seething anger at all the absolute pricks out there” FIREWORKS MAGAZINE
