We caught up with frontman Luke Branch to find out more about Genetic Cabaret, working with the legendary Steve Albini, releasing an album during the COVID-19 pandemic and much more.

With the addition of guitarist Rich Watson and drummer Lee Erinmez the band set to work on their debut EP 'One' and, with a variety of musical backgrounds and influences, it's set to be a strong introduction.
