Historically, Manchester, UK breeds a certain toughness. As a pillar of the 19th century industrial Revolution in Northern England, factories and warehouses line much of the city's rain-baptized topography. A hardworking lot eho shoot straight without apology, its denizens traditionally take an incredible amount of pride in where they come from. Embodying the grit and gusto of Manchester, Guilt Trip bring blast of homegrown intensity to their hybrid of hardcore and metal. The five piece - Jay Valentine [vocals], Jak Maden [guitar], Sam Baker [guitar], Tom Aimson [drums], and Lily Kilcoyne [bass] - slide striking melodies in between throat-sitting thrashy riffs and earth-splitting breakdowns.
Amassing tens of millions of streams and playing to packed crowds, they're primed to amplify this hometown energy and pride on a global scale with a series of 2025 singles and their forthcoming debut LP for Roadrunner Records.
