Blowout Presents
- Stress Positions -
Having played one of our favourite shows that we put on last year with Blind Girls, it is a pleasure to bring Chicago hardcore punk 4-piece Stress Positions back to Bristol to play a headline at Exchange Basement.
With two incredible EPs under their belt, the band have been noted for drawing influences from power-violence and thrash, as well as their forward thinking ethos.
One of the US' most exciting and immediate hardcore acts, get to know and pack it out!
Plus Special Guests : Cryptbreaker / Byford Dolphin Incident / Bullet
