The Disappeared

“… music with substance, value and subject matter…”

Who are we

We are The Disappeared, a four piece, indie guitar band. We write songs about the world as we see it – a good, bad, ugly and beautiful place.

We are from Manchester, England. Recently voted the best place for live music in a PRS survey. We like to think we’re a part of that.

What do we sound like

Indie guitar music at its best. The Disappeared reflect the sound of bands like The Clash, Manic Street Preachers and The Cribs. If you like your guitar bands with great tunes, choruses and lyrics worth hearing, you’re in the right place.

According to comments people have kindly left on our Youtube videos and our Twitter feed, we also sound like all of the following: R.E.M., Wire, the Buzzcocks, the Auteurs, Teenage Fanclub, the Wedding Present, and “something like Cast covering Syd Barrett-era Pink Floyd”!

All very nice suggestions, thank you.

What do people say about us

The Luminous Plectrum music blog put it like this:

The Disappeared are a four-piece indie/rock band that take the best bits of their predecessors and main influences (The Clash, Bloc Party, The Cribs, LCD Soundsystem) and package it into a fiercely infectious, guitar-driven sound – with attitude.
Songs “Welcome Back”, “Take Me to Manhattan”, “Step It Up” and “Karen Silkwood” are superbly well-written and already have the band’s stamp of quintessentially British catchy guitar hooks entwined with passionate vocals.
