Projector come to Hallamshire Hotel, Sheffield, to showcase their live alt-rock prowess this October 14th!<\/p>\n
PROJECTOR\u2019s debut album \u2018NOW WHEN WE TALK IT\u2019S VIOLENCE\u2019 moves effortlessly between artful derangement, aggression and the pop hooks that have regularly seen the band gate-crash the mainstream rock scene. <\/p>\n
At times it\u2019s drenched in the dark, industrial brutalism of Joy Division, at others it\u2019s a spectacular of hyperactive, Squid-flavoured rant-pop. The album features climaxes that stagger into acid-soaked country, warped with drum machines and lush harmonies, before leaping into blisteringly paranoid Incesticide-era grunge, topped with melting Lana Del Rey-flavour choruses.<\/p>\n
This record comes with the same attitude to recording, they have kept a firm grip over their creative output by producing and recording themselves for the last few years.<\/p>\n
On this tour the band have played four dates in France across different venues and have ventured back to UK, firstly taking on Birmingham\u2019s Sunflower Lounge before arriving at Sheffield\u2019s Hallamshire Hotel.<\/p>\n
Since 2018, Projector have stubbornly gone their own way. Bringing angular industrial drum machines to hook laden alt-rock, and lush melody to frenzied post-punk, the band have never hesitated to prioritise sonic breadth and an experimental attitude to pop. <\/p>\n
It\u2019s this confidence in craft that have lead them to tour Europe with rock giants Cleopatrick while simultaneously haunting the airplay of BBC Radio 6\u2019s left field Steve Lamacq and Amy Lam\u00e9 shows. The band deal in nuance of expression and the true insanity and grit of modern life, psyche and politics, although they don\u2019t like to talk about lyrics., <\/p>\n
Above all, the band\u2019s tightly wound intensity drives the album with the strange fervour of early Pixies that reflects the energy of their live show.<\/p>\n
If you don\u2019t manage to capture the Sheffield date, the band are also venturing to 33 Oldham Street in Manchester on 15\/10, The Louisiana in Bristol on 16\/10, before closing the tour in the capital city at London\u2019s The Lower Third on 17\/10.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Alcopop Records (label) 14 October 2025 (released) 54 min …\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":494680,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8817],"tags":[96746,30635,31104,38443,96758,7793,24053,1816,53719,41836,96752,78928,96741,3444,748,18784,96759,96764,96763,96748,44230,12830,30365,20905,4157,96757,96762,60301,24475,393,96755,26670,49034,5899,79510,4884,23455,96742,16345,481,96745,96740,80362,9461,3990,18753,96750,95322,3981,19158,96761,96754,38904,96738,96743,16372,96747,12,4159,25181,14565,3020,7794,89143,162849,68801,8439,9440,4161,16902,4856,96760,71519,453,4576,1620,4566,55332,52886,96739,96753,70573,76350,96751,24414,1067,96749,4165,16,96744,15,359,65143,96756],"class_list":{"0":"post-494679","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-sheffield","8":"tag-nsync","9":"tag-30635","10":"tag-albums","11":"tag-alternative","12":"tag-angst","13":"tag-artists","14":"tag-ash","15":"tag-audio","16":"tag-backstreet-boys","17":"tag-beatles","18":"tag-beck","19":"tag-blink-182","20":"tag-blur","21":"tag-books","22":"tag-britain","23":"tag-britney-spears","24":"tag-buy-tickets","25":"tag-cd","26":"tag-cds","27":"tag-christina-aguilera","28":"tag-classic","29":"tag-competitions","30":"tag-concerts","31":"tag-dance","32":"tag-david-bowie","33":"tag-e-cards","34":"tag-e-mail","35":"tag-email","36":"tag-eminem","37":"tag-england","38":"tag-fifty","39":"tag-films","40":"tag-foo-fighters","41":"tag-free","42":"tag-gigs","43":"tag-great-britain","44":"tag-hardcore","45":"tag-hendrix","46":"tag-hip-hop","47":"tag-indie","48":"tag-korn","49":"tag-lennon","50":"tag-limp-bizkit","51":"tag-live","52":"tag-madonna","53":"tag-magazine","54":"tag-manics","55":"tag-marilyn-manson","56":"tag-metal","57":"tag-metallica","58":"tag-microsoft-media-player","59":"tag-moby","60":"tag-music-news","61":"tag-music-news-reviews","62":"tag-muzik","63":"tag-my","64":"tag-nelly","65":"tag-news","66":"tag-nirvana","67":"tag-oasis","68":"tag-pearl-jam","69":"tag-pop","70":"tag-prince","71":"tag-prodigy","72":"tag-projector-hallamshire-hotel-sheffield-music","73":"tag-pulp","74":"tag-quotes","75":"tag-radio","76":"tag-radiohead","77":"tag-rap","78":"tag-rb","79":"tag-real-audio","80":"tag-rem","81":"tag-rock","82":"tag-sex-pistols","83":"tag-sheffield","84":"tag-shop","85":"tag-singles","86":"tag-smashing-pumpkins","87":"tag-soul","88":"tag-stereophonics","89":"tag-stone-roses","90":"tag-suede","91":"tag-supergrass","92":"tag-tickets","93":"tag-top","94":"tag-travis","95":"tag-u2","96":"tag-uk","97":"tag-underworld","98":"tag-united-kingdom","99":"tag-video","100":"tag-webcasts","101":"tag-webchats"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"","error":"Validation failed: Text character limit of 500 exceeded"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/494679","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=494679"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/494679\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/494680"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=494679"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=494679"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=494679"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
