About this Event
Formed from members of Bristol's avant-garde underbelly (Bingo Fury, Ex-Agent, 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. 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.
"On their blistering second album, Sunglasz Vendor capture the seething urges for excitement, change and genuine connection that most feel - but rarely act upon. Asking someone out, deleting social media, confessing your feelings for a friend, quitting a desk job: pivotal moments in contemporary life that are agonized over for far too long. Across Break Glass, the Bristol-based trio look to shatter this mould, or at least document their attempts.
Inspired by the early-2000s radio rock that first drew the band to music, Break Glass finds Sunglasz Vendor swinging unapologetically for maximalism. The wiry three-piece - Rafi Cohen (vocals, guitar), Eve Rosenberg (bass), Finn Hodgson (drums) - is blown out to absurd proportions: mixes deliberately slammed, guitars stacked thick until the waveform chokes into a distorted, heaving mass."
