Parkas-
A garage rock quartet hailing from Bristol, specialising in dirty, disillusioned, and maliciously unapologetic rock and roll. Enjoy only at maximum volume. 
 2021 saw Parkas become one of the hottest prospects in the UK indie music scene. Following the release of the stellar singles ‘Friday Night’ and ‘Pos’tive’ which were recorded at Sugar House Studios, the band have performed sold out headline shows in their stomping ground of Bristol at The Louisiana, Mr Wolfs and Rough Trade, as well as in the big smoke of London at The Fiddler’s Elbow and The Victoria (Dalston). 
 The lads have also supported some of the biggest names in the current UK scene, namely The Scruff, The Wholls, Himalayas, False Heads, Novatines, Larkins and The Snuts. Singer and frontman Matt Banks has even opened for Carl Barat and The Jackals with a solo acoustic set at Bristol’s renowned venue on a boat, Thekla. 
 Their latest single "Liquorice" was released on March 16th this year, and is the first of many releases the band have scheduled for 2022. 
 PEACE AND LOVE WE ARE PARKAS 
 Adam Crowther, BBC Radio Bristol “Incredible lyrics. Ridiculously talented. A brilliant, brilliant British indie rock band”

GAWS-
Formed in Bath & based in Bristol, gaws are a post-punk band that combine the hallmarks of blues & psychedelia to create their own unique sound that incorporates the frenetic energy of The White Stripes, the unconventional song structures of Queens of the Stone Age & the guitar work of The Blinders.
These influences create music that is most at home in a live setting, with the band producing loud & emotionally intense live sets.

5AM Fire Alarm-
5am Fire Alarm are a student formed band getting ready to set the Bristol music scene alight with their upcoming indie-rock tunes. This five-piece band, originally from South Wales bar one, pulls on many different influences but bonded over 2000’s alternative/indie music, the likes of Arctic Monkeys, RHCP and Jamie T. After focusing on their electric, energy filled live sets they have been busy in the studio working on their first two singles to be released later this month. A key element of their sound comes from the layered guitar parts bolstered by a wide range of tones from the keyboard as well as intricate and yet relatable lyrics.
