Bible Club

By Resonate | December 2, 2022

Since stepping out in front of an audience last year, Bible Club have been drenching venues in Bristol and their native Southampton in sound and sweat. They breathe life into the stagnated Bristol hipster art-rock/post-punk scene with stomping, diesel-engine hard rock breakdowns, and washy shoegaze overtones – all set to tsunami levels. Over the last few months, Bible Club have been drip-feeding us releases. Debut single Mr Lizard features Godzilla-stomp breakdowns and screeching, off-beat, stucka bomber guitar lines. Follow-up Ford Capri takes a slightly more cerebral approach, opening with a compound time guitar riff that leads into a quirky, bouncing disco beat. However, it’s not long till the song crescendoes to a fizzing, pounding cacophony that puts the listener in mind of homemade hot-rods speeding through a California desert. Bible Club is a band for those who feel Bristol’s post-punk scene could use a little more sweat and fuzz.
