JOE’s playlist of brilliant Manchester bands to get you in the mood for the derby

Listen up our kid...

The season's first Manchester derby gets underway on Sunday as the champions City welcome Louis Van Gaal's United to the Etihad Stadium. A win for the Reds would be a massive statement of intent and a potential turning point in their stuttering season while City will be desperate for three points following a recent poor run of form. Will Manchester be red or blue tomorrow evening? Regardless of the result, here's hoping that some of these tunes are played before and after the game. How can one city have had so many good bands on their local scene?
