Headfirst Editor's Pick
"Sell out warning! Kino revival week continues with a basement queercore cocktail, spearheaded by breakout weirdopunks GorZ – think scuzzy Hole-esque riffs meeting the theatrical onstage chaos of Snööper. Plus riot grrrl ragers Seizure Salad, scrappy politipunk upstarts Hissy Fist, and doomy hardcore duo Peacelily… major happening FFO: Skating Polly, Lambrini Girls, Big Joanie, The Menstrual Cramps."

- GORZ -
www.linktr.ee/gorz.wrld
QUEER PUNK band based in Briztol but will conquer the wurld, GorZ are multidisciplinary artists amplifying their voices about societal ills. Incorporating avant garde theatrics and paper mache props into their live sets, the collective is an audio visual project as much as it is a band. Shedding their skin to talk on topics like skin tags, consumerism and trans rights. Having played with The Oozes, Tokky Horror, Skating Polly and Snooper they display a graphic insight into the dirty and enraged mind of GorZ.
- SEIZURE SALAD -
www.linktr.ee/seizure.salad
Seizure salad are a riot grrrl/punk band originally from Exeter, and now based in Bristol. Their songs are fast paced, silly and filled to the brim with female rage. With a sound heavily inspired by bands like The Slits, Elastica and Bikini Kill, their infectious energy will have you screaming along to songs about Pigeons and UTIs within minutes.
- HISSY FIST -

Queer, aggy, genre straddling political punk.
- PEACELILY -
www.linktr.ee/peacelilyuk
Known for their chaotic and intense live performances, Asher and Neve, better known as the two-piece punk band Peacelily, blend hard-hitting riffs with politically charged lyrics culminating in a sound that has been described as ‘The bastard child of Sleaford Mods and Royal Blood’
