Welcome new band RXPTRS to the stage
| 2nd March 2018
There’s a new band on the alternative block in the form of RXPTRS .
They’ve only been together a short while, since the end of last year in fact, but already they’ve made a stir in music with their debut single ‘Bound’.
They draw on influences in hard-core punk and theatrical rock; from the likes of My Chemical Romance, Every Time I Die and Beartooth.
These influences are evident in ‘Bound’ and the ferociousness is reflected in their video too, with what looked like a mental house party/ gig.
Despite being a newly formed band, they’ve got a slick and fine-tuned sound already. That’s probably because they’re experienced musicians, who have been in bands before.
Simon Roach, Vocals, states the single is: “an account of a passionate relationship that turned incredibly violent and abusive. It’s a semi- autobiographical story of the breakdown of the relationship, a love story with a twist.”
You can check out the video below:
They recorded the track with Oz Craggs (Feed the Rhino) at Hidden Track Studios.
The quintet recently supported Speaking In Shadows on their Farewell Tour and played a sold-out show in Bristol too; leaving a trail of excited new fans behind.
If they can get the right support and boost their Spotify listeners, then they are sure to be a break-through band for 2018.
