Designer Magazine presents The Fevers - Manchester Roadhouse - 7th July

The Fevers have been together for two and a half years, and we reside in the great city of Manchester in a shared studio/house. We are aspiring music performers and producers who live and breathe electronic and indie rock music.

Our influences range from Daft Punk to Foals and our music is a “hands in the air”, “toe-tapping” innovation of the two. The music was formed after many nights in clubs, dancing into the early hours, and standing on the front row at countless rock gigs, having the air squeezed from our lungs.

A mixture of “invade your mind” anthemic choruses and lethal neon guitar licks grounded by tight funky bass lines and House beats lift us ceiling high above the shoulders of our contemporaries. The Fevers are perfect for Rocking out and Raving on.

Please find the link to their new single here
