Newcastle upon Tyne's Zilch Patrol made their debut in 2023 with a self-titled album that made noise in all the right places. Their second album, Glamour, doesn't just raise the stakes but builds a world and locks you inside it.
From the very first seconds of 'Pachinko Wizard', Hannah Bridgewater's voice cuts through the fuzz like a bare wire. Raw and brimming with defiance, her delivery sits somewhere between spoken word and singing, anchoring everything that follows. This isn't just a singer performing songs; it's someone with something urgent to say. As the album progresses, she shifts between preacher, witness and warning system, holding the centre of a relentless record.
