•••BIRDMAN CULT•••
Bristol post-punks and garage rock cultists playing big riff anthems to shake your bits to! described as Lout Rock and Indie doom, The band are gathering a rep on the mean streets of Bristol for their energetic live shows.
"This is a big sounding band, like it belongs in a stadium rather than a small venue. They stride around the gloom on stage at Bristols famous Louisiana venue and seem all knowing. The vocalists exudes the same louche charm ads maybe a young Jack Nicholson and the band seem to have all arrived from gigs with their other bands such is the collision of styles."

•••WAKEY WAKEY RISE AND SHINE•••
A full bodied 4 piece with floral notes, earthy undertones and a smooth finish.

•••PET INSURANCE•••
Bristol based art rock, post-punk three-piece combining angular guitar lines and dynamic drums with the charisma of an Essex-born frontman singing about the anxieties and isolation of modern life, through to his desire to become a TV opera singer.
Blending the top lines of 60’s west coast psychedelic country, with the dark and moody tones of 80’s ballads. Think safe as milk era Beefheart meets Robert Smith, wrapped up with post-punk drive.
