Road To Masochist has put together a mighty strong lineup in honour of landlord John Ashby it descends on Bristol in June. Not only being held in the intimate surroundings of The Gryphon, but it's also a celebration of Ashby's birthday...all in all, this will sell out fast! 

Headliners MASTIFF have been spreading their brand of misery and dissonance for well over a decade. Their most recent EP release 'For All The Dead Dreams', released via Church Road Records, saw them unleash the most brutal and devastating hardcore infused sludge of their career, and has meant they will be very unlikely to be playing in settings such as this for very long. 

WARREN SCHOENBRIGHT are a band that are on every noise worshipper's radar as they relentlessly deliver their brand of experimental, industrial drone and clamour. Hailing from London, expect misery, dark soundscapes and unease. 

CATTLE HAMMER join us having just released their filthy, gloomy epic 'Dark Thoughts With Lights Out' via Road to Masochist. Headed by Duncan Wilkins (Mistress, Fukpig, ex-Anaal Nathrakh), this Birmingham band are about as dissonant, nihilistic and nasty as you can get. 

MOUTHS travel down from Sheffield and bring their atmospheric, yet hard-hitting, brand of post-hardcore. Expect to be challenged and to be absorbed. 

All takes place at The Gryphon, Bristol on Saturday 20th June 2026. Doors at 6.30pm. 

£12 ADV/£15 OTD.
