From Manchester UK’s dynamic musical landscape comes Sonic Boom Six, the most compelling soundclash to rise from the underground for years. Described by Kerrang! as “a hefty shot of ska-punk, hip-hop, reggae and jungle, not to mention big, sinuous rock dynamics and hooks“ SB6 play firmly for the dance-floor while retaining enough power and aggression to be an active fixture of the UK’s punk scene. A true product of their city-centre environment, The Boom’s sound is as authentic as it is unique. Looking as at home on a festival stage as they are playing at a warehouse party, the band are retaining their grassroots ideation and positive, unifying message as their music steadily permeates a wider international audience.

Over the last five years, Sonic Boom Six’s live show has been honed on headline tours across the UK, Europe, Japan and the US as well as support to acts such as The LevellersReel Big FishLess Than JakeBad Brains and Big D and the Kid’s Table.
