Headfirst Editor's Pick
"Art is Hard Records celebrate the release of Bruising’s new single, ‘I Don’t Mind’ and Neurotic Fiction’s ‘Meditator/Generals’. The DIY grunge-pop of Bruising sit alongside the soothing post-punk of Tuff Enuff Records’ Neurotic Fiction - a group made up of members/ex-members of Twisted, Fairweather Band and Personal Best. Support will come from warm mince pies, straight out of the oven! Buy tickets: £6.00 +50p."

A gig held at Roll For The Soul on Friday 9th December. The event starts at 20:00pm.
Tickets are £6 and available from here on Headfirst or our shop, Roll for the Soul is a fairly small space with a limited capacity so we definitely recommend grabbing one in advance. This is a not for profit show, should we make any money we'll be donating it to positive causes.

The past year has seen the four-piece play a run of sold-out shows with Mitski, Los Campesinos! and Waxahatchee and they will be touring in December to celebrate the release of their new single ‘I Don’t Mind’ due for release on December 2nd, backed by B-side ‘Rest In Peace Kurt Donald Cobain (1967-1994)’.
“Bruising have been preventing me from careening into ennui… This kind of shit gives me hope” – Pitchfork
“The pick of the bunch, a sugary rush of noisy Pixies guitars and soft, sweet, addictive vocals” – NME
“One of those improbable bands who have somehow managed to make 100% fantastic music despite only being together for less than a year” – Noisey
“One of the UK’s most exciting new bands” – DIY
‘Honey’ – Track of the Week – BBC 6 Music
NEUROTIC FICTION | https://riotsnotdiets.bandcamp.com/album/demo-2
With members/ex-members of Twisted, Fairweather Band, Deadlines, The Bellamys and Personal Best, Neurotic Fiction's CV speaks for itself. We'll be releasing their new AA single Mediator/Generals as part of our Pin Pal Club on December 2nd. Techinically this is sort of an unofficial release party.
