The Fear return to The Ferret for a hometown show with support from Anti-Clone and HAEMA.
The Fear are back at The Ferret on Friday 27 November, their first hometown show at the venue in some time. They're not coming alone, either: support comes from Anti-Clone and HAEMA, so it's a full night of three bands rather than just one.
If you're not familiar with The Fear, there's a bit of a story to how they came together. The band formed in 2024 when Benj Ashmead on drums, Mick Satiar on vocals, Ad Lucas on guitar and Adam Smethurst on guitar reconnected after not speaking for ten years. Sonically, they blend metalcore with melodic alt-rock, drawing on Linkin Park, Underoath and Papa Roach, with vocals that echo Oasis and The Buzzcocks. It's a fair mix of influences to pull from, and having the band back on home turf in Preston is a good place to hear it.
The support acts bring their own weight to the bill. Anti-Clone are a UK industrial metal band whose EP Inhuman looks at themes of elite manipulation and shattered faith. HAEMA are an industrial groove metal four-piece from Northamptonshire, so they're travelling up from the Midlands for the night. Between the two of them, there's a good deal of industrial metal on the bill before The Fear take over.
