egyptian hip hop: Neither Egyptian, Nor Hip Hop.

Egyptian Hip Hop is in the great tradition of Manchester bands. They have no relations to Egypt and their genre is not a hip-hop. Probably the first reason why I decided to pass by this band is their unusual name. They make music that quarter of a century considered to be Manchester’s brand. It seems that it’s post-punk with romantic electronic which all the known bands in Manchester 80s composed. The band is unsigned but I’m guessing not for long.

I’ve read that guys have links with Johnny Marr who taught guitarist Nick Delap how to play the Smiths’ tunes and gave him some old guitar pedals.
EHH recorded their material for a debut single. Late of the Pier’s Sam is now producing the band. Really great start! I certainly hope it gets in the way of enjoying their music.
