Cannibal Animal – Grand Theft Manual
Filled with dystopian rebellion and fueled anarchistic reverence, Cannibal Animal’s weapons come to bear in the form of their new single “Grand Theft Manual”. The song kicks in almost from the get-go with a slight sonic warning from a single clean guitar before the track aurally brutalizes you with a to-the-point anthem for the new #indie. Bravo!
About Cannibal Animal
Having caught the attention of influential blogs Punktastic, Mad Mackerel and Raw Meat, plus local champion of new bands and BBC Introducing DJ, Alan Raw for their track I Feel Alive Hull band Cannibal Animal come with a new release before the Christmas break: Grand Theft Manual – an introduction to their debut 5 track EP Human Manuals to be released in the New Year by fiercely independent label Warren Records.This aggro-punk three-piece have come charging out from the trenches of the Hull music scene, brandishing their instruments like bayonets.
Cannibal Animal’s fuzzed-out, the ferocious sound has seen strong support from the punk community, with their psych-tinged guitar and frenzied vocals causing Punktastic to describe them as ‘the sound of a human breakdown’.
Grand Theft Manual is gripping and energetic as if someone has fed Sonic Youth’s DIY guitar sound into a woodchipper. Jagged riffs and a thrasher bassline seem to sprint from oi-punk to hardcore and back again throughout this three and a half minute aural onslaught.
After successful sets at notable UK venues such as The Shacklewell Arms, New Cross Inn, Rough Trade Nottingham, Camden Lock Tavern and Fulford Arms, Cannibal Animal are poised to take the next step up in their live performances and now that Human Manuals can be enjoyed by us all, it’s only a matter of time before they clatter onto a stage near you.
Cannibal Animal are Luke Ellerington (guitar/vocals), Jamie Hanson (bass) and Thomas Gibbins (drums). Having known each other since early childhood, the band have developed a natural instinct for playing together and in recent years have organically developed their sound into the aggressive powerhouse as seen on the Human Manuals EP.

Aura Davis – Die Alone
Aura Davis has today released her new single and video titled ‘Die Alone’. A solid mix of electronica, power-beat, piano, and that original something that Aura has within her voice. Her voice is captivating on many levels. A combination o angelic and experience. Add to that a solid monster of a hook and you have her new single ‘Die Alone’. Beautifully crafted in its dark and somber overtone, the song is clearly a stylistic evolution for Aura. She will be one to watch…. and listen to.
About Aura Davis
Aura Davis is an up-and-coming artist hailing from Switzerland. Davis has had an interest in music and arts from a very young age, with experience in casting auditions and live shows. She wrote poems and novels already at the age of 9. Around the age of 13, she found herself on a rollercoaster of feelings, such as being bullied and being confronted with family issues, which lead her to put down art and music. Soon finding back to it, to deal with the struggles of finding her own way at the age of 15.
Aura is a big fan of the Nashville scene. When asked about her songwriting process, she explains: “like a lot of other songwriters I usually sit with my guitar, pen, and paper. It could start from anything, like a melody that is stuck in my head that day or even a few words or a phrase that I have heard or said to someone. …and then I come up with whatever the moment throws at me.”
Her first two singles ‘Secrets’ and ‘Keep Running’, both released in 2020, were door openers in many ways. “It was me, trying to find my sound I guess,” she says, “I have been trying to sound like my idols for quite a long time, instead of focusing on my own strengths and magic moments. I worked hard on that in the past months.” The result of that mental change is a song called “Die Alone”.
There’s no doubt Aura is back. She’s darker, stronger, more honest, and a lot more herself than ever before. And there’s a lot more to tell in 2021.
