Here are some Brilliant Bristol Bands to check out (and maybe when they're next playing)

So me babbers. It's pretty hard to find some decent bands in Bristol. There is so...much...hip hop...that it makes me feel sad. Want something different? A little quirky perhaps? A bit fiesty? Or more relaxed? Or more melodic? Then check these bands out.

I don't really swing with the "these guys sound like a cross between Dolly Parton and The Clash" kinda stuff. So just have a listen. It is well worth it, and links are provided :). Even if you don't like the first one or two...please listen to THEM ALL...because they are all different. And have fun.
