Headfirst Editor's Pick
"Sell out warning! Sharp Noodle finally net OG Czech grind heroes Onanizer for a torrent of psychopathic blastbeat fury with breakneck Philly powerviolence from Bandit. Things will get nasty FFO: Extreme Noise Terror, Pig Destroyer, Agathocles, Magrudergrind."

A gig held at Exchange on Friday 6th September. The event starts at 19:00.
ONANIZER
Legendary grindcore from Czech Republic, playing since 1996. Although the band’s name could evoke goregrind feel, they are more influenced by old school grindcore, noisy hardcore/punk, fastcore and powerviolence.

BANDIT
Relentless Philadelphian Grindcore since 2012. Back in Bristol after a legendary set at The Lion a couple of years ago. FFO Pig Destroyer, Wormrot etc.
BANDIT pump out relentless grind core with frenziedly brutal and fast fire drumbeats. From the very beginning these guys have revelled in the adoration of not only an ever-growing crowd of fans, but also of publications such as Decibel and Metal Injection.

ATOMÇK
These lot again for some reason.
Abrasive and obtuse Bristol Grindcore since 2006. Their stubborn persistence in this most unnerving of styles is founded on snare hit hard, guitars played too loud and vocal cords thoroughly abused. Now with The Afternoon Gentlemen's Barthur on bass.
