We're super excited to have HOLY POPES back just after a year since they last rocked STAY SICK! This Bristol post punk trio play banging punk rock n roll and grinding garage with 'ave it drums and hypnotic bass lines, creating motoric music as dark as midnight. And if that ain't enough HOLY POPES feature ex-members from Eighties Matchbox B-line Disaster, Vile Imbeciles & Bad For Lazarus. Some of our favourite bands! Wowzers!
"Bristolian trio Holy Popes release their self-titled debut album and it's making no compromises in sound or attitude.
āWe didnāt care. We were just making exactly what we wanted with no intention of thinking about labels, tours, fansā¦it made us excited again.āHoly Popes are no strangers to creating distorted worlds whilst sticking up two fingers to the man. Now, they are set to release their debut self-titled smoking gun of spiky punk, as their music becomes the voice for the oppressed.Formed from former 80s Matchbox member Dom Knight and drummer Luke Bujniewicz in 2020, the band bring a twitching glimpse at something promisingā¦something brewing in the seedy underbelly of post-garage punk.A fusion of Iggy Popās dynamics and The Damnedās fused fury, Holy Popes (now a trio with the addition of bassist Liam Dowling) are a force to be reckoned with. Not just in the city walls of Bristol, but internationally scoping the lengths of just how far such a band can go.To put it simply, Holy Popes self-titled debut expresses their freedom, a band creating the music they want to create. Itās universally punk, and quintessentially Holy Popes. If you donāt know what that may sounds like, boy, are you about to."
