We’ve had a wild ride in the Underdog Battle of the Bands – from smashing ticket records to tearing it up at the O2 and Thekla. Still can’t believe we broke the all-time sales record in the history of the comp! 🤯
Now it’s time to say thank you — properly.
We’ve booked Bomba, Exeter for an all-out, no-rules, fan-fuelled party. No judges, no pressure — just four killer bands, a Rock Radio UK DJ set, and enough madness to last til the lights come up and the last legend’s still standing.
Expect chaos. Expect sweat. Expect:
🎸 On-stage tattooing (yes, for real) (TBC)
💀 The glorious return of the “Hole Dipper” merch comp
🎯 The “smash something up” piñata war
🕺 Musical statues for grownups (don't ask, just turn up)
🍺 Free pint giveaways
And it’s all 100% FREE.
We’re covering the costs ourselves, but if you fancy throwing in a few quid to help, that’s amazing — totally optional, no pressure.
🔥 Space is limited, so pre-book to guarantee entry (no payment needed, just show up on time).
🗓 Friday 12 Sept – doors @ 7PM
📍 Bomba, The Quay, Exeter
🎟 [Insert pre-booking link]
Let’s pack it out, lose our minds, and celebrate the people who made this all possible: YOU.
See you down the front.
ACTS:
Rock Radio UK DJ till late!
The official Rock Radio UK team & The official radio station for Call Of The Wild Festival. Also happens to be the best bloody radio station in UK and great friends of ours! With over 32,000 followers, they are by the far the fastest growing radio station in West! It is a true privilege to hosting yet another event with them
Hole Tripper:
Hole Tripper are defiantly making 90s-influenced grunge-style rock with their own twist, relentlessly creating music that hits with raw intensity. Known for their feral, uncompromising sound, the band has been developing a fast-growing reputation for having one of the biggest pulls in the Bristol grassroots scene. From their sweat-drenched debut at Bristol’s iconic, The Louisiana, to festival appearances and a thrilling run to the finals of the Underdog Battle of the Bands at the O2 Academy in Bristol. Hole Tripper is making up for lost time; they’re not just playing gigs, they’re setting stages on fire, filling venues and constantly innovating ways to entertain their ever-growing audience with their gloriously unfashionable rock music.
Low Wave:
Low Wave are purveyors of riff-heavy alternative rock with a grunge aesthetic. Hailing from Exeter, UK, the band emerged in 2023 with their garage EP ‘State Of Mine’ attracting listeners around the world and already closing in on 20,000 spins. The band signed to Reaction Management in early 2025, ahead of the scheduled release of their debut album later this year.
Low Wave are building a solid live reputation, racking up appearances at prime venues in Bristol, Devon, and London. Drawing upon a wide range of influences, and a love of Alice in Chains, Soundgarden, and QOTSA, the band blend power and melody to create something you’ll love.
Rosary Drive:
Rosary Drive are a promising new, vocal-driven Indie Rock band, originating out of Bridgwater, Somerset. The young band will be performing off the back of their debut EP release ‘Backburner’. After having a successful result in a Southwest Battle Of The Bands Competition, first place earned the boys slots at two major Somerset Festivals, Godney Gathering, Glastonbury and TestFest, Taunton. The group made their city debut by headlining The Fleece, Bristol. With inspirations such as Catfish and The Bottlemen, Wunderhorse, and The Ks, Rosary Drive may just be the next big thing.
Slow Down World:
Formed in Bristol 2012, Slow Down World have evolved their sound in many ways since their first demo of that year. Following on with three EPs, two singles and an album, engaging styles embracing Punk, Rock and then to Alternative Hard Rock, with '70s Progressive Rock and Symphonic influences.
