Manchester post-punk outfit Holly Head have released ‘I’ve Had Want’ on AKOUSTIK ANARKHY label, a track co-written with Paddy Murphy, drummer of fellow Manchester group Westside Cowboy. The single combines driving bass work and groove-oriented arrangements with euphoric indie sensibilities underpinned by political messaging. Part of an emerging Manchester scene alongside Martial Arts, Wyatt, and Mleko—bands bound by shared ethos of defiance and communal spirit—Holly Head anchors their output in themes of wealth inequality, racial justice, and animal rights. Singer Joe describes the track as channelling anger and emotional complexity beyond pure rage, processing difficult global realities while maintaining optimistic conviction. The band’s presence at the ‘No Band Is An Island’ fundraiser exemplifies their commitment to scene solidarity and collective action.
