Since their debut show at Southampton&#8217;s Joiners in November 2021, they have supported artists like&nbsp;Knuckle Puck, Salem, NOISY, Enola Gay, Narrow Head, and Beach Riot across the South of England. Their hometown gigs in Salisbury are the stuff of local legend, including a sold-out show at the 300-cap Chapel supported by borts and Binboy (ex-Gnarwolves).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In April 2022, the band caught the attention of the Marshall Live Agency, and were quickly signed to their growing roster of the country&#8217;s most exciting young bands. In July 2022, they played two sets at Oxford&#8217;s Truck Festival, opening both the Main Stage on the Thursday and the Market Stage on the Friday.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>Salisbury punk rockers\u00a0CARSICK\u00a0have shared their newest\u00a0single Anaconda Frank.
