The Menstrual Cramps
The Menstrual Cramps is a queer punk band from Bristol, UK. Formed in 2017, the band is known for its feminism, anti-fascism, and political activism. Their music, being loud, raw, and unapologetically queer, makes a powerful statement that has shaken up the punk scene and earned them spots at major festivals. In 2023, they signed to Alcopop! Records and took 2024 by storm with the release of their EP ACAB. In 2025, they released a queer women’s football anthem, ‘Kiss On The Pitch’ and supported both The Linda Lindas and Amyl and The Sniffers, on their biggest UK headline shows to date! Their live shows are known for their high-energy performances and rebellious style, leaving audiences both inspired and exhilarated. Having played prominent slots at Manchester Punk Festival, Safffo Festival in Rome, Burn It Down, Bearded Theory, Bristol Pride, Green Gathering, Greenbelt, 2000 Trees, Truck Festival, Boomtown, and Shambala Festival, they continue to refuse to take any shit!

French Toast
“French Toast is a fresh, dynamic band playing a fusion of indie, garage, rock and soul. All underscored with a rich vein of raw energy punk: musically, philosophically, and politically. Heavy guitar riffs, keyboard synth and an infectious beat scaffold a truly vocal and physical performance: their energy spreads at speed throughout the crowd. The sound somehow remains melodic despite the high energy delivery, and the lead singer catapulting from the stage with little regard to the concept of landing. The feminist and anti-discrimination messaging is woven into the performance as a rousing invitation to all. An invitation worth accepting.”

Hissy Fist
Genre-straddling political punk from Bristol, with heavy noisy riffs, ethereal bog witch harmonies and tribal drumming. HISSY FIST will be your soundtrack to rage, resistance and community building.
