Formed in 2018, Bristol-based three-piece, Droogs, draw inspiration from Fat White Family, The Cramps, John Cooper Clarke, The Stooges, The Damned, IDLES and The Fall. They have been described as “Sleazy but comedic, raw punk” and have gained a reputation as a fearsome live act due to their riotous live performances at Port Eliot Festival, Outcider Festival, Bristol Harbourside Festival and many more.
Their long awaited debut album will be released alongside a farewell show, after which the band will be going on an indefinite hiatus. Don’t miss your last chance to see them!

John E Vistic is a multi-instrumentalist, & award-winning songwriter who plays a unique brand of 'filthy punk', rock n roll & alt-country. With influences from Jesus & The Mary Chain & Marky Ramone to Idles, Metz & Fontaines DC. John E Vistic's latest single was described by the BBC as ‘Massive as ever from John E Vistic! John E Vistic is producing some of the most in your face music coming of Bristol right now…’.
Vistic has just finished a UK tour sponsored by Blackstar Ampifications, supporting Seattle punk legends MUDHONEY(USA), and the reviews have been great: London Electric Ballroom: Punktuation review: (https://www.punktuationmag.com/mudhoney-john-e-vistic-london-electric-ballroom-2nd-oct-2024/) "Neither Mudhoney’s Mark Arm nor John E Vistic are afraid to channel their inner Iggy when they cast aside their guitars, and both bands are partial to the kind of glorious racket that would have the Asheton brothers (RIP) nodding in approval. John himself is a captivating frontman, leading us like a preacher hailing the end of days".

Crawfish
Rhythm & blues covers fronted by Mike Crawford.
