"Absolute winners of the best band name in town, The Shania Twainsaw Massacre step up to the headline plate to kick some serious ass after fist-raising support slots for Tunic, RIZTS, wych elm and more. Blending post-hardcore muscle with sugar-sweet melodies into a kind of grungy slasher pop, this is a warning shot fans of Hole, Petrol Girls and Sleater-Kinney can’t ignore."

Blowout Presents
- The Shania Twainsaw Massacre 'Horsemaning' EP Launch -
It is truly a privilege to be hosting the release show for The Shania Twainsaw Massacre's sophomore EP 'Horsemaning' at Exchange this August.
A release that sees them honing in their darkly toned post-hardcore sound. With each track descending into chaos; a loud, uncompromising amalgamation of noisy guitars, heavy bass and frantic drums, which is reflected in their searing live sets.
The band has been steadily building a reputation as a distinctive voice within Bristol's vibrant music scene, and we can't wait to welcome them back for their first show in the city in nearly a year, celebrating this incredible body of work.
Post/art-rock collective StandToOrder and Lo-fi grunge tinged indie 4-piece Bohemia join as special guests.
Don't miss out!
