Gloom-punk masterminds The Chapman Family have had a remarkably busy year, after featuring on NME radar they have gone on to grace Reading and Leeds Festival, Offset and the Artrocker New Bloods tours. Described by NME as  “virgin-tight drums thunder…echos with Joy Division-esque urgency” they go far and beyond their lazy comparisons to Maximo Park.  Kill Cassidy have been growing into one of Bristol’s best loved live bands, they boast epically haunting anthems you will be coming back to time and again with an unmissable live performance.  Emphatica have recently  been sturing up the local scene supporting acts such as Televsied Crimewave and Monotonix “they make a promising racket, their insistent punch-bag riffing tempered by an all-too-rare ear for melody…..i am trying to think of a name to match Emphatica’s potential”  (Venue Magazine).
