“They remain an intriguing prospect – a band with the potential to shake up the scene with their unique sound and infectious energy. As they continue to evolve and push their boundaries, one thing is certain: the future looks bright for Man/Woman/Chainsaw.” – DORK
“It’s one of those records where every song has its own unpredictable flavor but they all seem to flow from the same collective consciousness.” – Stereogum – Band To Watch
“The teenage five-piece making a thrilling noise.” – Rolling Stone UK
“Eazy Peazy is a raw, ambitious and electrifying debut of forward-thinking rock music.” – **** – NME
“The most exciting live band in London right now.” – The Line Of Best Fit
“[‘Ode To Clio’ is] a cellular song that seems to smash together all kinds of contradictory ideas into one riveting whole.” – CLASH
“[‘What Lucy Found There’ is] a swooning, shapeshifting, melodramatic earworm of a single that sets them apart from London indie’s ever-crowded field.” – The Quietus
“[‘What Lucy Found There’ is] a virtuoso example of a band taking the listener through the emotions and leaving them unable to do anything but leap about the room.” – So Young Magazine
“The latest in a recent line of young bands from the capital making a buzz the old-fashioned, live circuit way, angsty sextet Man/Woman/Chainsaw’s third proper release rings hums with the sort of layered energy that’s clearly been honed on the stage.” – DIY
Following a sold out Halloween show at 100 Club and the news that they’ll be travelling to the US for the first time to play SXSW next year, today the London-based six-piece Man/Woman/Chainsaw release their acclaimed debut EP ‘Eazy Peazy’ through indie tastemakers Fat Possum.

To celebrate the release the band have shared a live session recorded at The George Tavern, a venue held dear by the band and one that has seen many of their earliest shows, directed by Ella Margolin.

Man/Woman/Chainsaw also share a visualiser for an EP highlight in “Sports Day”, a song that pairs looping, gritty post-punk in its verses to melodic, soaring piano and viola in a dual-voiced chorus becoming an immediate fan favourite across recent live dates.

The band had the following to say about “Sports Day”:
“Sports Day takes commonplace memories of shame and embarrassment on sports day to ridiculously exaggerated levels. We were inspired by the brash, campy worlds of American films like ‘Grease’ and ‘But I’m A Cheerleader’ to set memories of teenage insecurity against a bright backdrop, with an instrumental that mimics the pomp and pageantry of a marching band.”

Since their debut at 16 years old and across three self-released singles, Man/Woman/Chainsaw have proven themselves as one of the most exciting and unpredictable young acts in the capital, both joyous and raucous in equal measures. Last year’s “What Lucy Found There” was to be their breakthrough, securing attention for the band from the likes of The Quietus, NME, So Young, BBC 6 Music and more.
Recently celebrating their 100th gig, this November the band truly come of age with their debut EP landing on the indie taste-maker label Fat Possum Records. Recorded with Gilla Band’s Daniel Fox at Echo Zoo studio in Eastbourne, the group present us with cinematic arrangements, mauled by moments of cacophony; the band’s Billy Ward says of their writing process, “we thrive on the thin line between pretty and noisy, often trying to jump between the two – it’s that chaos that excites us.”
The group have a busy touring schedule ahead of them, and last week announced not only SXSW next March but their biggest London headliner yet in April at The Scala.
