Headfirst Editor's Pick
"Your eyes do not deceive you! The Old E returns to DIY scene stalwart status with a week of revival gigs stuffed to the gills with local talent. First up: genre-mangling maximalist noise merchants MP3 Chainsaw alongside bouncy power-post-punk from Belishas and anarcho “splurge-pop” from Trans-Siberian Express."

- MP3 CHAINSAW -
In the depths of Bristol between discarded guitars and ableton cracks, 5 unlikely anti-heroes (GMO Pop Stars) fight crime (boring/bland music) and evil (fuccbois at night clubs)!!! Wielding a perfect weapon of Maximalist Pop forged from elements of shogaze/funk/80s synth/noise/hardcore/riot grrrrr/goth.
- BELISHAS -
Bristol-based jank-pop band treading a grey area between fragile melancholy and visceral catharsis. Belishas is a project based on duality. Since 2019 the group have morphed through many stages and interpretations of itself, landing upon a mixture of scratchy alt rock and modern left field influences.
- TRANS-SIBERIAN EXPRESS -
Janky rock ’n’ roll/splurge pop party starters. A little bit of everything you’re looking for in music, performance and atmosphere.
Join the only Bristolian splurge pop band to have ever been described as 'quite good if you like trains' and 'relatively good in a moving lift'
