A five piece independent alt-rock band local to Bristol, Soft Kicks got their start in hometown garages aping Teenage Fanclub and Dinosaur Jr. Through their collective myriad influences they channel a core of up-tempo melancholy. This, coupled with line-up changes between songs make Soft Kicks a high energy act, new on the scene and worth keeping an eye on.
Coming from the lively music scene of Bristol, Kurbside Villain is an energetic alternative rock four piece that started during lockdown. In 2022 they made themselves known with the release of their debut EP, "Beat Me Up". This release highlighted their ability to create songs that not only resonate on a profound level but also inspire listeners to dance. Their music, characterized by gritty guitar riffs, catchy melodies, and powerful vocals, has quickly attracted a growing fanbase and continues to be displayed in their recent releases ''There will come soft rain‘’GHOST" and ‘’Break me".
