Short Sharp Shock is the latest EP to be released by Performance.

Formed in Manchester in 2003, Performance feature a line up of Joe Stretch; vocals, Joe Cross; keyboards and sisters Laura Marsden: guitar and Billie Marsden; keyboards. Inspired by boredom and a mutual love of New Order, Depeche Mode, The Velvet Underground and Abba, Performance played their first gig at Manchester's Big Hands and quickly built up local admiration, including Peter Hook who likens them to early New Order.

Our lyrics reflect the difficulty and indignity of love and life within the context of the end. The end of sex. The end of Information. A society on the brink of indifferent extinction.

Performance have toured the UK with the likes of Bryan Ferry and Pink Grease and last summer saw them play stunning sets at Homelands, Wireless and Reading Festival.
