Bruise Control are a loud-mouth four-piece punk outfit from Manchester who’ve become a serious force in the UK DIY scene. They’ve been carving their name with a ferocious energy, mixing the raw aggression of ’80s hardcore with hooky, jagged indie riffs pulled straight out of the early ’00s. Their new EP and extended physical release, which they co-produced (by their guitarist Niall Griffin), really captures that chaotic, live-wire feel - think shout-along choruses, gritty vocals, and a jagged musical edge that somehow still feels melodic.
On stage, Bruise Control are notorious for bringing the party - wild shows, loose banter, and a real sense of community. They’ve played at festivals like 2000Trees, The Great Escape, Bearded Theory, Left Of The Dial and more, bringing their DIY punk spirit to a big crowd. The band have also played shows with Amyl & The Sniffers, Spiritual Cramp, Civic, Press Club and loads more.
Their single “Gone to Ground” is "raw, urgent, and emotionally honest — and it’s a great example of how they balance grit and melody". - Punkinfocus
If you like bands who hit hard but still keep things weird and thoughtful, Bruise Control are here for you…
