A meeting of four jaded old friends from the underbelly of the north-west music scene, Whinge began as a cathartic outlet and an attempt to press pause on the unrelenting passage of time.

Fuelled by nihilism and a playful eye for self-deprecation, one pub conversation too many saw their myriad of musical backgrounds meet their unpredictable approach to life, with the end result: ‘Whinge'. Like the best bands; more a gang than a group.

Post-punk informed DIY garage-rock

played with gay abandon, Whinge slam together influences from the Mondays to Sabbath, ESG to LCD, Genesis to the Rapture.

Playing with the likes of Benefits, LIFE, Part Chimp, BODEGA and many more; festival slots at Manchester Psych Fest, Waves Sunderland, Knockengorroch, Glastonferret among others; as well as running their own bi-annual mini-festival & celebration Whingefest; have all marked Whinge out as a force to be reckoned with.
