What their label says...

Based in Manchester -once the location of the sign that inspired the band’s name -the band have been operating under the radar on home turf for the past few years. Over in the States, meanwhile, news of the band has been spreading like fallout from an H-bomb.
They’ve been playing to packed houses coast to coast and winning plaudits from practically every  magazine,
taste-making radio station and blog. They were nominated for 2007s Shortlist Prize (America’s Mercury Music Prize equivalent) alongside M.I.A., Feist, Wilco and Arcade Fire.
To allow British audiences to catch up, Melodic are releasing this astonishing double album, a bold entry point for a big band. It takes beats, psychedelia, Krautrock and indie, and blends them into one prolonged sonic assault, with
lyrics that rail against crime, religion and - in ‘Get A Fucking Haircut’ - other bands.
Establishing themselves on Manchester’s live scene, Working For A Nuclear Free City emerged as one of the city’s most exciting and mysterious bands, before disappearing to chase the American dream. They also became known for their remixes, with credits for The Rakes, Polytechnic, Shitdisco, Archie Bronson Outfit, The Whip and Starsailor among others.
