HOFJ Proudly presents:

LIFE AMONG PEOPLE - Manchester based alternative rock act. Compared to Deftones, Chiodus, Thrice & Funeral For A Friend. Touring the UK to promote their soon to be released debut album. Some recent reviews of the forthcoming release are found below :

''KERRANG! - KKKK (4/5) placed somewhere between Deftones and Biffy Clyro, these impressively ambitious articulate underdogs certainly deserve to enjoy wider recognition ''

''ROCKSOUND - 8/10 manchester trio LAP are actually doing something daring and exciting. Their intense yet accessible blend of hardcore, punk and metal begs to be released from the constraints of a min-album.''
