Man/Woman/Chainsaw
“The most exciting live band in London right now.” – The Line Of Best Fit
“This young British art-punk five-piece revel in taut chaos and wry lyrics.” – The Guardian
“It’s one of those records where every song has its own unpredictable flavour but they all seem to flow from the same collective consciousness.” – Stereogum – Band To Watch
“I won’t lie, I fucking love this band.” – Steve Lamacq, BBC 6 Music
“The teenage five-piece making a thrilling noise.” – Rolling Stone UK
“Eazy Peazy is a raw, ambitious and electrifying debut of forward-thinking rock music.” – **** – NME
“As they continue to evolve and push their boundaries, one thing is certain: the future looks bright for Man/Woman/Chainsaw.” – DORK
“[‘Ode To Clio’ is] a cellular song that seems to smash together all kinds of contradictory ideas into one riveting whole.” – CLASH
“[‘What Lucy Found There’ is] a swooning, shapeshifting, melodramatic earworm of a single that sets them apart from London indie’s ever-crowded field.” – The Quietus
“[‘What Lucy Found There’ is] a virtuoso example of a band taking the listener through the emotions and leaving them unable to do anything but leap about the room.” – So Young Magazine
“The latest in a recent line of young bands from the capital making a buzz the old-fashioned, live circuit way, angsty sextet Man/Woman/Chainsaw’s third proper release rings hums with the sort of layered energy that’s clearly been honed on the stage.” – DIY
At the end of last year, Man/Woman/Chainsaw announced their signing to Fiction Records, home to The Cure, St. Vincent, The Horrors and Billie Marten amongst others, with the beguiling single “Only Girl”, recorded at RAK Studios with Geordie Greep producer Seth Evans & Margo Broom, who also worked with the band on their previous single “Adam & Steve”.
Both “Adam & Steve” and “Only Girl” made the BBC 6 playlist.
Early in 2026, with more music set to land in the near future, Man/Woman/Chainsaw find themselves standing confidently at the very forefront of a new wave of British bands “most likely to”.
Described by Rolling Stone at SXSW as “a young band in the process of inventing something ecstatically new”, the London-based six-piece, a close-knit group formed by friends Billy Ward & Vera Leppänen at only 16 years old, have already secured significant attention from the likes of The Quietus, Guardian, NME, The Line Of Best Fit, DIY, So Young, Stereogum, The Fader, BBC 6 Music and more.
