SIERRA: “Unexpected optimism, reflected in music that only gets happier and happier” - Epigram (Flora Pick). 
 “Deep, evocative, sounds great on the radio” - BBC Bristol (Adam Crowther) 
 “Their music is unlike anything else I’ve heard this year, with a sense of innovation and originality present throughout their music” - York Calling (Jane Howkins) 
 Somewhere between rock and electronica, with a liberal splash of jazz harmony. Described as ‘anthemic’ by those who have seem them perform live, more accurately referred to as a rabble of lunatics who somehow get the job done. 
 Embracing a DIY ethos, Sierra write, record and produce their music out of a flat in central Bristol. Their latest offering ‘’, is an adventurous undertaking; romantic era piano compositions alongside 3 solid minutes of guitar soloing, a post-rock colossus and a sound which the group have dubbed ‘jazzgaze’. Released in early 2022 through Blvnc Records and received by a sold-out crowd from across the UK at local stomping ground The Louisiana, SITV has made restrained but respectable waves across the live scene of Bristol. 
 Sierra is; , Harry Bowden Ford, Richard Discombe, Maeve Clenaghan and Tom Dummer.
