Manchester-based poet, writer, and producer Antony Szmierek is set to perform at Albert Hall on the 21st of March, following the release of his debut album, ‘Service Station At The End Of The Universe’, which is set to drop on the 28th of February!

The past few years have been a wild ride for the artist. Cutting his teeth on the Manchester spoken word scene and gaining notoriety for his seamless flow skewering everything from the hardships of contemporary British life to finding the unexpected beauty in the everyday, it was the 2023 release of his single ‘The Hitchhiker’s Guide To The Fallacy’ that kicked off his meteoric ascent.

“Armed with spoken word songs that celebrate the beauty in the everyday, the Manchester poet is ticking off career milestones seemingly by the minute” – DIY (Class of 2024)

“tales of love, hope and ambition told paired with lightly psychedelic guitar riffs and UK garage kick patterns”  – NME (Radar Breakout)

“His direct, spoken word tone makes this pondering feel blissfully optimistic, a source of reassurance in hard times” – Time Out (Artists to Watch 2024)
