Headfirst Editor's Pick
"Sell out warning! The PNW’s definitive slice of hxc gristle lands on your plates for the first time in 5 years, gobble it up children! Delay-drenched nihilism distilled into ugly AF mid-tempo sludgeries: Gag want war, no doubt you’ll give it to them. No-brainer: FFO: Iron Lung Recs, Poison Idea, Bib, Warthog, Spy, No Trend."

Blowout Presents
- Gag -
One we've been very excited about announcing for a while, Washington's Gag last played Bristol back in 2020 supporting Turnstile in Trinity Centre where they played a relentless short set of erratic and intense hardcore punk, we're stoked to have them back for an intimate headline at The Golden Lion this November, bringing with them Ingrown from Idaho.
Adding to this already stacked bill, Bristol's stompy chain punk 5-piece 'Perp Walk' return for their first hometown show since May, with a very welcome return from 'Plastics' and 'Ikhras' finishing the line up too.
Utterly unmissable bill, this will sell out, don't hang about
