unpeople: 'we can't help but care about every detail'
There’s something immediately likeable about unpeople. Four musicians united by a love of what they do, a passion for the stage and an almost obsessive commitment to getting every detail right, they’re a band who can hold their own on any bill. They may have shared the stage with Metallica early on - and since made their mark on the festival circuit - but their debut album, we are unpeople (out October 9 via Sharptone), proves they’re capable of far more than simply filling a support slot.
