Our recent recommendations for The Old England Pub
From acid garage punk to organ croon, Oral Habit will have you all frocked-ed out swaggering to the beat of their drum at this typically frazzled Extra Terrestrial Velvet Echoes co-pro. The Brighton beauties serve up Nuggets soul with bitchin’ blasts of heavy psych in this dangerously high voltage fuzz-off FFO: Osees, King Gizzard, Brian Jonestown Massacre.
Garage Rock // Psych // Kraut Rock
Sell out warning! Cosmic Rock Is Not Dead indeed! Ferocious, meditative, acid-burn riffs, ripping a hole in the Guruguru Brain heavy psych network with Acid Mothers-esque time-dissolving dynamics and a splash of Les Rallizes Dénudés noise corrosion. Kawabata might just materialise from the purple mists, and if they do that cover of Maggot Brain, they’ll need to peel you off the walls after. As good as it gets!
Taiwanese Psych Rock!
Cardiff’s most foul Tides of Sulfur summon their blackened sludge-grind this side of the pond with the best support around. They’re so fucking nasty APF signed ‘em, so expect the absolute sonic pits with Docile’s bruising crust and Byford Dolphin Incident’s red-lining mathcore powerviolence. Sub-genre crusher FFO: Full of Hell, Knoll, Funeral Chic, Missouri Executive Order 44.
DOCILE are headlining at The Old England for the Bristol date of their summer tour.
Soren Bryce’s transatlantic DIY project is back in town! Tummyache’s spiraling arpeggios and dollops of reverb gradually build to head-banging skronk and clanging percussion, stretched beneath snaking vocals. Supported by some of the finest art-rockers in town, this’ll be a goldmine FFO: ‘00s Radiohead, Nilufer Yanya, Hand Habits, Big Thief.
Join us for a night at The Old England, featuring some of the finest up-and-coming bands from headline band Tummyache with support bands Traitors, Palemoon, and Honeyglow.
Not a drum machine in sight for the Neuromancer electro-gothery of Citizenry! Mick Wallace jumps to the fore after playing stickman with Women and Preoccupations; the result’s a radical solo soundworld of MIDI-triggered synth-punk complexity. And hey, the evolution of Bristol’s own Cindy Lee aka Patsy Delve is pretty darn exciting right now. Right on FFO: The Soft Moon, Pop. 1280, Clan of Xymox.
