DOCUMENT
Keen students of post-punk history as well as the genre’s best contemporaries, Manchester-based band Document are as thrilling as they are brutal. Confident beyond their tender years too, these flagbearers of the “modern punk revival” write tense tracks as character-driven stories, explorations of paranoia, desolation and surveillance.
As anti-frontman Alex Evans (equally of Leeds band Lumer) becomes his rich characters on stage alongside bandmates Charlie Marriott, Max Grindle, Josh Franks, Will Smith, he holds a mirror up to an angry society, largely avoiding political criticism in favour of skin-crawlingly exact observation.
Ever heard a band sound grey? In Document’s shadow world things are rarely black and white so it makes sense they find solace in the “in between”, cementing their appeal to outsiders and tastemakers alike.
