Headfirst Editor's Pick
"A Stokes Croft triple-hitter of underground fire! Holy Popes channel post-garage punk into animalistic distortion and visceral noise; Vile Imbeciles gurgle experimental high-guitar hell with rhythmic jank; and Repo Man collapse rock into shards of sax, ping-ponging bass lines and plunking riffs. Relentless FFO: The Fall, The Stooges, The Birthday Party."

FFO: The Stooges | The Jesus Lizard | Fugazi
www.holypopes.bandcamp.com
Bristol-based post-garage/punk trio. Formed by Dom Knight (ex-Eighties Matchbox B-Line Disaster) and drummer Luke Bujniewicz in 2020, the band’s acerbic, over-driven first offering is as good a window as any into the gritty, distorted world of HOLY POPES.
Newly signed to Hull-based independent label Man Demolish Records (NEWMEDS), Holy Popes’ visceral debut album reflects a twitching, erratic take on post-garage punk.

Vile Imbeciles first emerged in Brighton in 2005. Born from the wreckage of The Eighties Matchbox B-Line Disaster, their sound is a raw blend of experimental rock, hell, and post. And of course, it's weird. After a long hiatus they have returned with new material driven by the relentless pursuit of musical innovation and riddled with angular rhythms and raw post-rock sounds.

- REPO MAN -
FFO: The Fall | Swans | The Pop Group
www.repoman1.bandcamp.com
Reshaping ‘rock groop’ sturm-und-clang into subnormal forms, son-of-Oldham vocal slurries, oozing Free sax splatter and shards of punishing guitar bliss. Bristol’s Repo Man have been delivering their distinct brew of electric anti-poetics since 2011. The band have supported the suitably clanging likes of Lydia Lunch, Enablers, USA NAILS and Housewives. Their most recent album 'I Can Live With It if You Can, Son' was released in September 2019, through Stolen Body Records.
