Stay+, formerly known as Christian AIDS but induced into a name change by a perturbed charity and a horde of burly lawyer types with writs, have given Junior Boys' Banana Ripple the once over.
Where the original is 9 minutes plus of sunburned summer attitude and analogue synths, Stay+ give it a sinister, 4am house twist, upping the beats and layering on the reverb for a more unsettling experience. Check out both versions below.
There's plenty of bands, Egyptian Hip Hop, Everything Everything, Wu Lyf and Christian AIDS to name but a select few, bursting from Manchester's burgeoning new class set to steal the limelight and A&R attention from their London peers.
Add to that list Brown Brogues. Listening to the duo's two minute blasts of psych garage is akin to feeling the angst striken buzz of early White Stripes demos like Lafayette Blues or Hand Springs, as thumping drums provide the platform for scuzzy lo-fi guitar.
Before they head out to SXSW, the band's debut 7" is out next week on Suffering Jukebox. For your listening pleasure, samples of two tracks from the release are below, as well as a Manchester Scenewipe directed video for Treet U Beta.
