Parkas|
A garage rock quartet hailing from Bristol, specialising in dirty, disillusioned, and maliciously unapologetic rock and roll. Enjoy only at maximum volume. Parkas are slowly but surely becoming one of Bristols most exciting new bands. 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 "Between Our Mouths" was released on July 20th this year, and will dropping a new track in March of this year. PEACE AND LOVE WE ARE PARKAS Cam Mulberry, The Bristol Gig Guide “To say PARKAS set was electric would be an understatement, it’s more directly wiring your eyes to a mains plug socket and going bang”. Adam Crowther, BBC Radio Bristol “Incredible lyrics. Ridiculously talented. A brilliant, brilliant British indie rock band”

KUDOS are an up-and-coming UK based alternative rock band emerging from Bristol. They combine hard captivating guitar riffs with catchy choruses, and use guitar effects to incorporate psychedelic and shoegaze soundscapes with indie-style song writing. This is accompanied by a chaotic, yet tight and characterful rhythm section, influenced by elements of dance music, to create the unique sound of KUDOS. In a live setting, the band provides energetic and emotive performances that captivate and enthral audiences. Recently, KUDOS have added a live visual element to their show which brings another artistic element to captivate the audience.
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.
Beat Up Strangers| Spunky rock with sharp lyrics and blunt bass lines. Formed this year, Beat Up strangers will debut their first show on the 9th.
