## Summary

Manchester jazz-punk band Maruja have announced a live album, *The Holy Inadequate*, recorded at headline shows in Manchester and London. The release captures the group’s energetic performances supporting their 2025 debut album, *Pain to Power*, and is intended to give fans who have not seen them live a chance to experience the shows.

The album is due out on 20 November. The four-piece played 109 shows in 2025, which they described as a “beautiful and brutal year”; they said the demands of the industry and their personal lives led to burnout. Maruja called the release a thank-you to their supporters, while also speaking openly about the toll touring can take on musicians.
