Our recent recommendations for The Old England Pub
All hail new kids on the promo block Anvil, barely fresh out of the forge and already tirelessly keeping scene fires burning across the city. This Old E 4-biller’s classic catch-em-before-Arctangent-books-em territory, ft Seneca’s knotty math-prog, Chasing Dolls’ windswept Southwest emo, Cubicles’ spindly 90s-flavoured angst and Too Pretty I’m Scared’s dreamy bedroom sadcore.
Mid-west/math/emo gig at The Old England.
Hissy Fist should be a name on every self-respecting Easton punk’s lips rn, and if it ain’t, here’s your chance to put things right! They serve the Old E a hefty doom/riot grrl/nu-metal collision of politipunk snarl and stage-razing rage, with help from Thwack’s chamber-folk-punk ballads and rising lo-fi cuties Broccoli Boy. Big FFO: Witch Fever, Dream Nails, Gouge Away.
Join us on Saturday 27th of June for an evening of grassroots Queer Punk music
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.
