RITA LYNCH;

““ Bristol’s enduring riot grrrrl rock’n’roll banshee Rita Lynch needs to be seen to be worshipped. The St Paul’s icon of razor-blade guitar anthems is always essential viewing FFO: PJ Harvey, Patti Smith, Screaming Females, Breeders, Ex Hex.”“ HEADFIRSTBRISTOL.COM

VIRUS formed in 1983, Virus have been described as the ‘best kept secret’ in the DIY punk scene and over their 42 year history have released four singles, one split-single and six albums.

Virus draw on inspiration from the bands of 1979/80 - bands such as The Ruts, The Damned, Killing Joke, The Stranglers, The Jam, as well as anarcho punk pioneers Crass, The Mob and Poison Girls. Virus continue to explore new territory and push their music beyond the boundaries normally associated with anarcho-punk with their hard-hitting melodic punk rock sound and lyrical themes about the betrayal of trust in a long-term friendship, fast fashion, the environmental crisis, internet grooming gangs, the president of the USA, Covid lockdown, the toppling of the Colston statue, the meat industry and the wider punk scene.

Virus have played live all over the country but they tend to keep their gigs low-key affairs often playing with long-time friends and associates.

CONTEMPT are Wolverhampton‘s finest Anarcho Punk band.
They have been Punk protesting since the mid eighties.
Certainly not to be missed.
Still causing a stir.

HERMETICUS provide heavy drone/guitar to a severe tribal beat.

A whirlwind of effects and samples disengage the listener from conscious reality and into a magickal, ritualistic landscape.

This well known duo have played together in many incarnations dating back to the origins of Anarcho Punk in 1980.

Do Less, The Winged Demons, Le Pendu and Disturbance From Fear preceded  Hermeticus though the strong political/magickal/punk essence remains.

Bristol based and entrancing audiences nationwide.

Not to be missed.

CROOKED SNOUT are a new Bristol Punk band bringing energy and excitement to the proceedings.

ACTIVE SLAUGHTER are a Punk Band from London.

They are an anti fascist, animal rights supporting radical outfit that take a stand because they care !

They raise awareness and funds for causes that matter whilst making a powerful noise.

To be seen, to be experienced, to behold.

SOCIAL SECURITY
After seeing The Damned perform in late 76, Social Security left their jobs and signed on. They recruited 'Spy' a Damned roadie so named because the Damned were convinced he was a spy for the Pistols. With 'Spy' on board as their new singer, The Socials became major players in the Bristol and West Country's burgeoning punk scene.
Signed by Heartbeat Records They went on to record their first single on Bristol's newly formed Heartbeat record label. The single, a four track E.P. Was critically acclaimed by the legendary John Peel. Over the years the single has been re-released appearing on many highly regarded Punk anthology albums.
After a lot of arm twisting by their former management and due to public pressure Social Security relented and have now reformed playing extensively and showcasing their unique wit and song writing abilities. Social Security are true originals, Don't miss them!!
