Partisan
Juggernaut
29 July 2016
Partisan formed in Manchester, UK early in 2013. As the name implies they are passionate about their mission to position themselves as serious contenders, taking on the music scene with their punchy, bold and unflinching rock anthems.
Stuart Armstrong (lead vocals and guitar) formed Partisan with Dan Albon (bass) and Rob Jones (drums) when his previous band Six10Repeater disbanded in 2012 - the band earned critical acclaim and commercial success; they were awarded as ‘Best Unsigned Band’ by XFM in 2009, two tracks 'Hearts and Nails' and 'Today Somehow' featured video game Pro Evolution Soccer and the band earned support slots for the likes of Nine Black Alps, Babyshambles, Status Quo and The Damned as well as being championed by BBC 6 Music's Mark Radcliffe and BBC Introducing...but the time was right for something new.
Stuart sees Partisan as a natural progression from Six10Repeater both in style and spirit - innovators of new rock, Partisan underpin hard hitting lyrics with melodic rifts. The release of 'Juggernaut' produced by celebrated writer/musican Mike Bennett (ian Brown, The Fall, Neville Staple) follows the success of the band's last single 'Two Lovers' which saw the boys working with The Charlatans' producer Jim Spencer.
Already making waves in America, the band are playing two iconic venues there this year, New York's Pianos and LA's Whiskyagogo.
