Hello! |
|
Today we proudly present Prevent The Scum: a skittish somersault through jangle pop, post-hardcore and skate rock. It’s about hiding from a searing sense of romantic and sexual loneliness with humour and guitar solos. I’ll put the lyrics below. |

It is the final single from our upcoming debut album Unwinding, which is out in 10 days(!) on Friday 25th April. We will tour the UK tour in May in support of the album release, adding shows in Cardiff, Brighton, Manchester and Weston-super-Mare. For our headlines, Oro Swimming Hour will support in Bristol, Jæd will support in London, and Baggio and Mumbles will support in Manchester. |
Formed from members of Bristol's avant-garde underbelly (Bingo Fury, Ex-Agent, Big Fuss, Grandchild) at the start of 2023, Sunglasz Vendor sees devout experimentalists turn to embrace the eternal comforts of rock radio hooks, pensive emo, and Kerrang! teenage angst.
Setting up camp in the basement of iconic local venue The Louisiana, Unwinding was recorded with William Carkeet across eight days in the bleak Winter months of 2023/24 - barely one year on from the band’s first rehearsal. Many of the songs play host to backing vocals from the local DIY music community, with members of Minor Conflict, Pet Shimmers, Foot Foot and Robbie & Mona nestled among the chaos.
The result is a daringly skittish attempt at nostalgia; a classic guitar/bass/drums trio where all the elements are grating up against each other, teetering on the edge between the Guitar Hero canon and free-form anarchy. Across eight tracks, Unwinding candidly observes how people can change for the worse as they are slowly crushed by the mundanity of modern life.
