PRESS COVERAGE
Hole Tripper, a Bristol/Exeter outfit steeped in the sludgy warmth of ’90s alt-rock. With echoes of Pearl Jam, Bush, and Audioslave, their set was raw and riff-heavy, balancing melodic grunge with no-frills authenticity. For fans of classic alt, this was a highlight—and for Gen X’ers, a welcome throwback.
The Bristol Gig Guide - O2 Academy Battle of the Bands
“I think this sounds so good - This cranks it up a gear and it’s a real meaty track and you can hear the passion in it. Huge right?”
Adam Crowther (BBC Radio Bristol) - "I Want it All"
Hypnotic vocal flows pull you in as you're handed heavy-handed guitars, crunchy drums, solid bass lines, and spot-on production work. This thing feels very full and serves as a perfect example of why Hole Tripper should be on the radar for every fan of this rock-rooted genre.
Havoc Underground - "Old Days"
The vocals truly soar on the chorus, delivering an impassioned scream that really rocks the soul. Little pre-recorded soundbites appear every so often, creating more context for the tune. Old Days is far from unfashionable, but it truly is glorious to behold.
York Calling - "Old Days"
‘Old Days’ is the cracking and grungy new single from Bristol-based independent rockers Hole Tripper.
Inviting the listener to break free from the shackles of nostalgia and forge a resolute path ahead, ‘Old Days’ is undoubtedly one of my songs of the year! I’ve missed a crunchy guitar riff and soaring vocals of late, and all I can do is thank this super-talented bunch for their new track. I can’t wait to hear what they get up to next!
Mesmerized - "Old Days"
“Old Days” by Hole Tripper is a moody and atmospheric song that will blow the roof off your house with its power and building energy. Opening softly this song can be a little bit of a slow burn but the wait pays off dramatically. The chorus sections see the introduction of a massive and fat guitar paired with soaring vocals. This song is a true high-octane thrill ride that will leave adrenaline coursing through your veins.
Lost in the Manor - "Old Days"
The passion and commitment of this band exude in their performance, creating an immediate connection between the band and the listener.
It’s as if they’ve poured their hearts and souls into every note and lyric, and that level of dedication translates into a genuinely moving musical experience.
Edgar Allen Poets - "Old Days"
“Hole Tripper have an eclectic sound which switches from heavy grunge to lo-fi alternative post punk…… They have a very strong retro vibe which is hard to ignore and impossible to sit still to. The guitar sound is overloaded with fuzz, character and an infectious feel which all adds to the charisma of this band.”
The Accidental Music Reviewer - "Sand in My Feet"

Festival on the Hills, Devon
"I haven’t been working with Hole Tripper for long, but they’ve quickly shown how hard they work at their craft – both on and off the stage. We started this process with 300 bands and HT have earned their place in the final six."
