Meet Performance, a fresh Indie pop group out of Manchester, England. Whats so special about them? It could be their unique brand of melancholic synth pop, or it could be that their lead singer Joe Stretch is a published author!

Stretch’s novel Friction was released last year and since has become a cult classic! Now thats gotta be a first.

Performance have a new song on the horizon called “The Unconsoled.” Check out the band’s brand of synth-pop, and well written lyrics in their new video!
