Hung Out To Dry -  a 5-piece metalcholic punk band crashing out of Greater Manchester like thunder through clouds. We craft songs that hit like a gut punch but linger like butterflies in a storm. Channelling the struggles of everyday life into a collection of music for anyone who feels like they need it. We create a melodic feel with an aspect of heaviness to our music and intend to share it with the world.
