HOLE TRIPPER
WHO WE ARE
We are a Bristol band proudly making 90s infused alt-rock music with grunge in its bones. We deliver weighty riffs and big vocals that hit with raw intensity. We are now one of the biggest draws in the Bristol grassroots scene having sold out the Thekla and made history as the first unsigned headliner of the O2 Academy Bristol main stage.
Our forthcoming Ditch EP is produced and mixed by Dave Hillis, who engineered Pearl Jam's Ten and Alice in Chains' Sap. Our rock roots are tangibly early-90s alternative, but the new material is not looking backwards.
We push the genre forward one riff at a time, relentlessly making banging new music for those who lived it and loved it, and those who wish they'd been there.
LATEST TRACK RELEASE
Hold Back the Sun
Most people dislike change but some are better than others at dealing with it….
This track is a rebuke for those who refuse to adapt to changes in their environment, even when they see the writing is on the wall until it’s too late … and only then do they start running, blind as bats scrabbling over each other.
You can’t hold back the sun or the sea so open your eyes you silly King Cnuts!
