--------------------
THE SCREAMING DOLLS
Local punk scene stalwarts, delivering raucous and deeply personal Doom-flavoured Hardcore. Two weekends in September 2025 in a tiny soundproof room has given birth to their most candid and pummelling set of recordings yet. Laugh, cry, feel your bones rattle.
F.F.O. Bald drummers
PEACELILY
Furious Bristol bass-and-drums punk duo who have truly set themselves up as ones-to-watch. Expect a mixture of righteous anger and absolutely bruising riffs.
F.F.O. Being shouted at until your ears bleed
STAR RATS
Bringing the anarcho-farmers’ pitchforks to the party, emerging from the fields of Somerset and Wiltshire with a vengeance. The band weaves high-energy tunes to ‘get your rat out to,’ combining harvesters with 70s crusty garage-punk that erupts from the inner-city sewers of Bristol.
F.F.O. Farm Punk
