Featured Album this Month
Hello Baby Ok - Elder Island
The trio are celebrated for their brooding indie-electronica that draws on their Bristol roots, creating vastly detailed and immersive soundscapes. But Hello Baby Okay marks a new era for the band, fuelled by a longing for transcendence and euphoria. The album was released on 08 May 2026 and is well deserved for album of the month.
Trending Artists This Month
My First Time
The EP landed 20 March, and the band’s spring run includes a Bristol date at The Croft on 28 April 2026 (listed as part of their April dates by Kerrang! and in ticketing). My First Time are starting to cut through that exact sweet spot in Bristol right now — where local buzz, live energy, and early releases all collide at once.
Peach
PEACH are a four-piece post-punk band from Bristol, taking influence from early Desert Rock, Punk and Grunge ideologies. Its noisy, its angry, its honest. New album 'Only Love' was be released mid-March. The release party happened on 10th April 2026 — a key moment that’s turning online interest into real-world momentum
Getdown Services
Getdown Services have just stepped into a serious breakthrough moment this April, after being announced as part of the lineup for Meltdown Festival 2026, curated by Harry Styles. Even more notably, they’re supporting Harry Styles himself, putting them in front of a completely new scale of audience almost overnight. Getdown Services are heating up April with the new single The Radiator and a just-announced Bristol Beacon headline milestone that underlines their current momentum.
Kwazi
One of Bristol rap’s brightest young stars, Kwazi bids adieu to the community space that’s done more to prop him up than anyone. Low-slung trapstar 808s, anime-toting lyrics and laidback boom bap flow + the usual 395 antics to end things on a high. End of an era stuff FFO: Novelist, Dave, Jay Prince, BENJI."
