Bristol-based RXPTRS are a brand new quintet that combines a mix of ferocious grit with an ear for melody. The group, who formed in early 2018, blend elements of hardcore punk, grunge and hard rock to make a noise crammed full with hooks that still manages to pack a punch.
Today see’s the band release their new single, ‘Parasites’, a love song, personifying the music industry, portraying it as a relationship that has seen better days. ‘It relates to certain experiences we’ve had in our short time and what our friends in other bands have experienced.’ said vocalist Simon Roach. ‘It’s no secret that we’re in times of change within the industry and it’s far from glamorous.’

Aug 02 – Birmingham, Subside
Aug 03 – Norwich, Open Club Room
Aug 04 – Worcester, Paradiddles
