A Certain Ratio are a pioneering post-punk band from Manchester, known for their innovative fusion of punk, funk, and dance music. Formed in the late 1970s, the band became a key part of the Factory Records roster alongside acts like Joy Division and New Order. Their debut album, To Each... (1981), showcases their unique sound, blending angular guitars with funky rhythms.
Over the decades, A Certain Ratio have remained a highly influential band, with their music regularly cited as an inspiration by contemporary artists. They’ve performed at numerous UK festivals, including All Points East and Bluedot, where their ability to get the crowd moving remains as strong as ever. A Certain Ratio’s forward-thinking approach to music has helped them maintain relevance across decades, and their live shows are a celebration of their enduring legacy in the UK music scene.
