“Ambient walls of feedback guitars strewn with hardcore-style riffs…a mightily impressive noise” – NME
“Masters of melancholy with a more modern take on 90’s alt-rock” – DIY Magazine

“I’m really excited about working with Simmer” explains Dog Knights label boss Darren Harvey “There are plenty of bands doing the whole ’emo / shoegaze crossover-thing’ right now, but these guys are genuinely doing something more interesting than the rest. If you like Nothing, Basement & Headroom, you’ll probably like this too!”
Bonded together in February 2014 in the sleepy town of Winsford, Cheshire over a mutual love of early emotive hardcore artists Sunny Day Real Estate and punk icons Fugazi, they released their seething debut EP ‘Your Tonal Mess’ physically on tape in May ‘14.
The ‘Yellow Streak’ EP is released 30th March via Dog Knights Productions.
