Working Men's Club

Working Men's Club formed in Todmorden, West Yorkshire in 2018, Syd Minsky-Sargeant developing a sound rooted in post-punk and electronic music that was immediately inventive and genre-blurring. Their music combined post-punk energy with electronic influences, krautrock motorik rhythms, and a melodic directness that gave them a distinctive identity within the contemporary British indie scene.

They were signed to Heavenly Recordings and released their self-titled debut (2020) to strong critical acclaim — an inventive, genre-blurring record that produced 'Valleys' and 'Be My Guest' and established them as one of the most exciting new British acts. Their combination of post-punk energy, electronic influences, and melodic directness made them genuinely distinctive within the contemporary British indie scene.

Working Men's Club have continued to record and perform, releasing 'Fear Fear' (2022) to positive reviews. They are one of the most inventive and exciting acts in contemporary British music — a band whose combination of post-punk energy, electronic influences, and Minsky-Sargeant's distinctive vision makes them worth following closely. ⚠ Flag: most recent release — verify latest album.
