They’ve beencarving their name with a ferocious energy, mixing the raw aggression of ’80s hardcore with hooky, jagged indie riffs pulled straight out of theearly ’00s. Their new EP and extended physical release, which they co-produced (by their guitarist Niall Griffin), really captures that chaotic, live-wire feel - think shout-along choruses, gritty vocals, and a jagged musical edge that somehow still feels melodic.On stage, Bruise Control are notorious for bringing the party - wild shows, loose banter, and a real sense of community. They’ve played atfestivals like 2000Trees, The Great Escape, Bearded Theory, Left Of The Dial and more, bringing their DIY punk spirit to a big crowd. The bandhave also played shows with Amyl & The Sniffers, Spiritual Cramp, Civic, Press Club and loads more.Their single “Gone to Ground” is "raw, urgent, and emotionally honest — and it’s a great example of how they balance grit and melody". -PunkinfocusIf you like bands who hit hard but still keep things weird and thoughtful, Bruise Control are here for you…
