Guardian's One to watch: Working Men’s Club

"Basically we just want to confuse the fuck out of people, in a good way!” - vocalist and guitarist Sydney Minsky-Sargeant of UK band Working Men's Club said about his group. Sonically, they drew comparisons to the Fall, Soft Cell, Parquet Courts, These New Puritans, with lyrics dealing with the today's world - "If people choose to interpret [my lyrics] politically, they’re probably not wrong. And I’ll add that in this current climate we’re in, you’d be stupid not to have an opinion and speak up on it”, as Sargeant told the NME. Guardian chose WMC as the One to watch.
