Bristol Music Weekly
31 JAN – 06 FEB 2026
From snarling noise-rock to soulful liquid rollers and deep electronics, the month started properly hot.
Spotify Drops
S.P.Y feat. The Melody Men – “Sweet Sound”
S.P.Y returns with a soulful roller that blends warm bass pressure and refined groove. The Melody Men’s vocal touch adds lift and musicality, making Sweet Sound equally suited to late-night listening and the dancefloor.
Swelt
“Ashtray”
Raw and restless, pairing gritty guitars with emotional release. Lived-in, direct and all impact.
mclusky
“i know computer”
A snarling, off-kilter blast of angular guitars, biting humour and zero restraint. Abrasive in the best way.
Amoss
“Funk Knows”
Stripped-back pressure with rolling subs, crisp breaks and a locked-in groove built for heads-down system work.
Strange Futures
“Scrap Metal”
A jagged, driving cut mixing urgency with grit — post-punk tension and raw live energy all over it.
Culplex
“Bishamon”
Precision drums, ominous low-end and cinematic tension from the Bishamon EP. Dark, modern club weight.
Tribal
“The Social”
Laid-back rhythms and subtle melodic detail from the Coffee Shop EP. Groove-led and effortless.
MPXX
“Falling Further”
Emotive synths and a steady forward pull make this a reflective electronic cut that unfolds patiently.
Bandcamp Picks
Avon Terror Corps – “Nexus – Cage”
Chaotic and confrontational, this track fuses punk urgency with noise-driven intensity. Loud, political and built to rattle small rooms — a fierce statement from the ATC collective.
Whodat
“All Boy Dem”
Fast, raw and full of attitude, tapping into classic jungle energy with hard breaks and heavy bass.
Desolder
“Landing in Sand”
Ambient tones and fractured rhythm combine for an abstract, immersive left-field electronic listen.
Arlo
“Hold On”
A warm, groove-focused cut with clean rhythms, steady momentum and understated club lift.
Clown Army
“Pirates”
Fast, fun and rough-around-the-edges punk energy built for movement and shouted choruses.
Edgar MB
“Raindrops”
Melancholy melody meets restrained electronic production — subtle, emotive and quietly effective.
Gig Highlights
Skarlett Riot / Phoenix Lake @ The Exchange
A huge shout out to the Bristol Gig Guide for their coverage of Skarlett Riot and Phoenix Lake at The Exchange. It looked like a massive night of high-energy riffs, crowd connection and proper live heat.
Upcoming
Moor Mini-Fest
Get yourself to Moor Beer Co this Saturday for the Moor Gigs Resurrection — a mini-fest celebration packed with loud bands, great beer and proper community atmosphere.
Whether you’re into the polished D&B of S.P.Y or the chaotic noise of Avon Terror Corps, this week proved Bristol had no intention of hibernating. Support the scene, buy the tracks, and we’ll see you out there.
