New Bristol Music: 26 September–2 October 2026
This week’s Bristol listening starts with Southsection’s STARSEED and an early independent pick from September Song, before moving through Alina’s pop-rock, RANK’s hardcore and a broad run of bass music. We’ve also picked a few recent discoveries and advance tracks worth keeping close, with their dates clearly marked. Down the page: our forthcoming Bridge City Sinners interview, a huge hometown diary date for Roni Size & Reprazent, and a Glastonbury ticket reminder.
