The Bacillus - Alternative Indie Rock from Manchester UK

The Bacillus are made up of prolific singer/songwriters Aidan Cross, Stephen Sarsen and Tim Lee plus multi-tasking drummer Stuart Quinn-Harvie. Aidan, Stephen and Tim have all performed as solo artists while Stephen and Tim have contributed, often together, to multiple different bands and as such are well-known among Manchester's music community.

These multi-tasking musicians combine their talents and raw energy to make The Bacillus a striking and powerful live experience.

Just to let you all know that we had a great band rehersal tonight with our new guitarist Frenchie French. We played all of the new material and most of the old material.


Following on from the recent album launch of I Can't Adapt to this Prison you call Society the Bacillus are back in the studio working on the follow up album which is yet to be named. There are several work in progress tracks written by Aidan Cross which are coming together nicely with the addition of synthersiser provided by new band member Graham Brown who is also providing piano and synth parts for the first album tracks on upcoming live sets.

It's certainly a new direction which is working and we look forward to uploading some demo tracks on Souncloud soon.
