A gig held at The Stag And Hounds on Thursday 28th May. The event starts at 20:00.
DROPPERS NECK
With comparisons to the likes of Gallows, Cancer Bats & 80's Matchbox, The Dropper's Neck make loud, raw and noisy punk rock music. The band's debut album launched them out of the underground in 2013, and garnered extensive national praise from everyone from Classic Rock and Kerrang! through to Big Cheese Magazine. The bands brand new EP, which will be released in July 2015, further evolves their sound and will put them firmly back in the presses eye this year. The EP is a killer dose of high octane raucous rock merged with tinges of heavy hardcore punk. They are brimming with raw power, force, and true potential. The fast moving five-some have built a name for themselves on the live circuit by touring the UK and delivering a flurry of highly energetic & chaotic shows. They will continue to build on their fanbase by hitting the road with several UK tours in 2015, keep an eye out at a venue near you.

THE BROKEN BONES GENTLEMENS CLUB
Bought together from a mutual love of Venice Beach hardcore, we formed our new band in April after being in various bristol based bands over the years. Known for professionally storming every show we've played so far, we want to continue to powerhouseing venues over the country putting weak ass bands to shame and giving the audience what they deserve. Our former bands you may have missed include: The St Pierre Snake Invasion, Abort Abort, Gurka, Mea Culpa, Ringsaroundsaturn, Gouranga, Jesse Ventura and Glass Wing Pilot.
We playing straight up hardcore punk with big influence from OFF!, Trash Talk, Everytime I Die, Cerebral Ballzy, Black Flag, New Bomb Turks, The Bronx, Minor Threat, Misfits, Ramones, TSOL, Fugazi, Refused etc

TUSSK
Tussk describe themselves as a dirty rock and roll band from The midlands who play music that is of a respectable volume and speed LOUD AND FAST.
Drawing influences from bands such as Pantera, Thin Lizzy and Everytime I die, Tussk are here to downtune, turn up the volume and throw one hell of a party.
"The band have taken a genre which has been done a hell of a lot, and turned it into something which is more powerful, more melodic, and firmly rooted in the bands own feelings and outlook" - Dave Nicholls @ Loud Stuff

AVARICE
Avarice are a Bristol based Hard Rock trio originally from Wales. They have been playing together since 2011 so they're performances tend to be"tight" and consistent as they've been playing together for so long.
They're influences include bands such as Press To Meco, Biffy Clyro, Arcane Roots and Don Broco. All of these influences are mashed into one to create their sound.
Their sound consists of heavy riffs, epic melodic chorus', lots of hooks and plenty of harmonies to keep things interesting. This can be heard in tracks such as"Squares" and"Break Me In".
Their live shows are high energy as they put all they have into that 30/45 minute or so set they get given. They always make sure to do some crowd participation to ensure the crowd are having as much fun as they are. For the past couple years they have been gigging relentlessly around Wales and recently have relocated to Bristol so they can be a part of their thriving music scene. Since their move, they have played at venues such as The Fleece, The Louisiana, The Exchange, The Thunderbolt, The Gryphon and Mr Wolfs. Since they started gigging, they have shared the stage with bands such as Press To Meco, Liberty Lies, My Favourite Runner Up, Montrose, Enemo-J and many more. Imbetween their gig schedules they tend to do acoustic sets and open mics so they are regulary playing music to people and spreading the word about the band.
They have independantly released 6 demos. some of which are a part of the"Home Recordings" series which they release every year. In the summer they are planning to release their first studio 5 track EP and also release their first music videos from the back of it.
