Corporate Retreat
Corporate Retreat is a Bristol Emo supergroup formed by underground favourites Leonardo Lemuel and Gunkus. Blending raw emotion with walls of sound, their music draws from Midwest emo, shoegaze, indie folk and punk. It’s shouting, it’s thrashing, it’s catharsis—Corporate Retreat is the kind of band that makes you feel sad in the best possible way. Whether you’re a long-time follower of the Bristol Emo scene or just discovering them, this is the band to watch.
The Trapdoor Spiders
The Trapdoor Spiders are a four-piece rock band based in the South-West (UK). Their unique style fuses classic grunge influences with modern rock sensibilities through ‘hard-hitting riffs and ‘three-part harmonies’, (Underground Sound, 2025). The release of their latest single, ‘DoDoDo’ is now available for streaming on all major platforms.
Joey Dawson blends folk, indie, and soft rock into a warm, melodic sound with a storytelling heart. Rooted in Bristol but shaped by a wide range of influences, his live sets shift easily between intimate acoustic moments and full-bodied anthems. Whether it’s a cosy bar or a festival stage, Joey brings a set tailored to the room—always honest, always engaging.
