Shaking Hand, a Manchester-based post-rock trio, are carving out a distinct niche within the UK’s indie and post-rock music scenes. Embodying the rich musical heritage of their home city, Shaking Hand have quickly built a reputation for atmospheric soundscapes and bold, dynamic performances. Their set at The Social in London in September 2025 saw them headline a night that also featured Family Stereo and F.O.O.L, further cementing their place among the current vanguard of innovative live music acts.
