Join us on Saturday 27th of June for an evening of grassroots Queer Punk music
HISSY FIST are a queer, femme and non-binary collective that are here to tear down walls - both sonic and societal. Bringing genre-straddling political punk from Bristol, with heavy noisy riffs, ethereal bog witch harmonies and tribal drumming, their tough and tender offerings are the soundtrack to resistance and community building. Their heart-felt performances call out the fight for our inter-connected struggles. HISSY FIST brings joy and silliness alongside seething queer rage. You will laugh, cry, stomp your feet and feel the fire burn within- prepare to be lured into the depths of your own rage. Anti-state, anti-fascist, anti-conformist. ‘Strong of thigh, strong of fist and strong of voice’.
THWACK! are London’s foremost orchestral-infused punk rock imagineers. They’re new to the scene but they’ve already captivated audiences with their eccentric and unpredictable shows, high-octane originality and killer tracks. In the last few months alone they have already won band battles, played major festivals, scored a viral internet hit and brought their orchestral-punk-rock- theatricality to an ever-growing list of iconic cities and venues. An 8-foot zombie Maggie Thatcher, Riot Grrrl, seductive string harmonies, angels, bad puns, sapphic yearning.
We are a 4 piece Indie Introvert Pop/Rock collective from Frome, Somerset. We lovingly curate infectious lyrics & melodies with strong instrumental hooks to both entertain and make a bold statement. Looking to reach new heights, this year we’ve introduced a fourth member and have been working tirelessly on an EP. One message that rings throughout our music and presence is being queer and loud. This is shown more heavily in our single “Venus To Mars” which highlights joy in the trans community and being proud of who you are.
