Possibly Manchester's best kept secret, Puressence, born in the early 90's played an integral part in the Madchester scene. Their sound however, was not typical of what was going on at the time and their uniqueness came from vocalist James Mudrizcki's haunting and emotional croon, layered over anthemic and lush, melodic guitars.
Although never achieving chart topping success, Puressence have always had a loyal fan base. See them live in 2009; get your tickets now!
