Repressed on limited Orange vinyl / re-released to coincide with the band’s Manchester Psych Fest in early September 2026 Straddling the boundary between discordance and serenity, Rude Films contrast light and dark to craft alt rock that is foreboding yet hopeful. Since 2018 they’ve occupied the dank mills of Manchester, heavily inspired by their precursors but determined to carve out their own sound. In early 2025 this fourpiece delivered their debut album, a self financed, self titled underground masterpiece! Initially a self pressed vinyl only release, sold only at shows and via their local record shop, Piccadilly Records, fast forward to the end of the year and they’ve decided to release a CD version to help get their music further afield. A wise decision. From the opening brooding moments of "Where Have You Been Lately?", the Manchester quartet explode into a cacophony of shoegaze infused noise-rock on "Mort Subite". From there, things don't even begin to slightly let up as Rude Films then slam into the monster that is "Death Hex". Pummelling walls of sound that act as the perfect statement of what this band is capable of. A statement of which carries on with the fuzzed out and driving "Religion" and the sprawling and frenetic "Serenity". Elsewhere, tracks like "Blood On The Tracks", "Wide-Eyed Boy" and "A Lonely Moon" take a more atmospheric and textually rich route, whilst the jangly and anthemic "You're The Image I Can't Forget" sets its sights on your heart. Closing up on "Black Snow", the entirety of the record comes to a cataclysmic crescendo with frontman Aaron Hill-Southern spitting his guts out over the Deafheaven-esque finale. Immediate, massive and with plenty of noise to back them up, we've not been this excited about a new band from Manchester in a while. Their album follows a standout 2024, playing a string of shows in support of post-punk heavyweights IST IST and being labelled as ‘ones to watch’ by their local BBC introducing show. With an end of year headline show at Yes in December, 2026 looks like a new horizon is opening up. CD version printed up in an edition of 300 (first press).
