Tools You Can Trust

Example Album: Working And Shopping

Location: UK

Years Active: 1982-1988

Style: Post-punk, metal percussion

    Tools You Can Trust were a post-punk band from Manchester. I don't know if I've heard another band sound like they do.  They play in a unique post-punk style, usually centred around bass and drums, with grunted and whispered vocals, often having political lyrics. There are moments in their music where bashing metal percussion comes in to accent the sound, some songs more than others. There are some pure metal percussion tracks as well, too. Overall this is an incredibly weird band that I've totally fallen in love with.
