In the vanguard of the emerging Bristol underground scene,
— Foot Foot have drawn on the traditions of folk, math-rock
and discordant post-rock to produce their intricate brand of
songcraft, creating moments of serenity & stillness before
launching into fast, jagged rhythms. Their use of contrasts
-indie-flecked songwriting with irregular, winding passages
or rich violin & vocal melodies with avante-jazz freakouts -
have marked them out as one of the scene's most innovative
and impactful live acts !
Double A side single with Bible Club and debut album on the way

music as a vehicle to mix musical and social scenes .
