After two sell out shows at Manchester’s Academy 3 in 2007 and 2008 Carjack Mallone have been pushed further with headline slots at Manchester Academy 2 and The Ritz in 2008 and 2009.

Flooded with influences, the sound created ranges from the raw guitars of Nirvana, the melodic choruses of U2 and the epic sounds of Sigur Ros.
