So sharp, in fact, that Steve Hanley (The Fall and Brix Smith and the Extricated) has performed live on stage with them a number of times already.\u003cbr\u003e “Fuzzed out DIY guitar pop that plays by its own rules” - Clash\u003cbr\u003e “National Trust provides a slightly askew view on modern Britain… Fans of Parquet Courts or Sports Team will certainly find something to enjoy here.” - DIY\u003cbr\u003e “Never lacking in spark or immediacy, it’s an introduction to a\u003cbr\u003eband of doubtless potential.” - Dork\u003cbr\u003e “Upbeat and hook-heavy” - Gig Wise\u003cbr\u003e “Blossoming in amongst the modern and the classic.” - The Line of Best Fit\u003cbr\u003e “A great effort from a great band.” - Louder Than War\u003cbr\u003e “An engaging group refreshingly privy to a little self awareness, Blanketman shouldn’t be taken for granted.” - So Young\u003cbr\u003e Tourdates - August 3 The Sunflower Lounge Birmingham, 4 The Hope \u0026amp; Ruin Brighton, 5 The Windmill London, 11 Future Yard Birkenhead, 12 Trades Club Hebden Bridge, 13 Yes (Pink Room) Manchester. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTracklisting:\u003cbr\u003eBeach Body\u003cbr\u003eLeave The South\u003cbr\u003eHarold\u003cbr\u003eDogs Die In Hot Cars\u003cbr\u003eBlue Funk\u003cbr\u003eNational Trust\u003cbr\u003eThe Tie\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"[PIAS]","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40211167248540,"sku":"PIASR5065EPV","price":12.02,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0130\/8714\/6043\/products\/1_44067a45-3548-49c9-b62f-8325cb4f264e.jpg?v=1624019626","url":"https:\/\/www.horizonsmusic.co.uk\/products\/blanketman-national-trust","provider":"Horizons Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
