Our recent recommendations for Strange Brew
Sell out warning! Breakfest for breakfast! Breakfest for lunch! Breakfest for dinner! The loveable slacker rock slingers are ready for another round and by gum, our tastebuds are already tingling, with heavy-duty post-punk supergroup The None, carnivalesque Cornish psych-folkers Blind Yeo, and soft rock master balladeer Polhawan among the early sign ups for this year’s all-day hootenanny.

Sell out warning! Immaculately conceived in utter depravity, Spectral Wound are truly the heinous seed of old school black metal gods... Raw as Scandi frost on bare skin, punk as pre-Viking Bathory, when that shrieking wall of sound hits, nothing on heaven or earth can touch it! A rare offering from future royalty in our sludge-obsessed and doom-driven city FFO: Lamp of Murmuur, Dissection, Immortal, Mgła, Watain.
Spectral Wound & Noctule at Strange Brew.
Seismic Bristol return for these incendiary garage-punk / prog-jazz / heavy psych disciples. From LA they came, riding heady clouds of sax squall into stoner fuzz pedal storms, screaming with proto-punk falsettos and afro-funk chops. This’ll be a serious third eye watering FFO: Osees, Ty Segall, King Gizzard, Bitches Brew, Witch, King Crimson.
