Abrasive Trees + Wish Hounds
After selling out their last two shows, Abrasive Trees will finally be playing at the New Lion Brewery on Saturday 4th December after lockdown postponed their previously scheduled debut at the venue.
Joining them in support will be exciting new Exeter/Bristol four-piece Wish Hounds. Doors open at 7.30pm. Tickets on sale now.
Abrasive Trees
Abrasive Trees have been described as ’stunning’ (BBC Introducing), ‘atmospheric’ (Post-Punk.com) and ‘perfectly evocative’ (Aural Aggravation). Their musical creations display a willingness to experiment alongside a sound that sits loosely within the post-punk aesthetic with definite influences from post-rock, folk and psychedelic-rock.
More accurately though they are the expressions of an inner world that is at times intense, but ultimately hopeful. Their music connects with themes of the spiritual, the fragility of our psyche, attempts to convey what is ultimately inexpressible - all delivered with irresistible riffs and a powerful mix of distorted cello, entwined guitars and leviathan drums.
"a transcendent experience of euphoric dissonance" - Post-Punk.com

Wish Hounds
A Post-Punk/Alt.Pop/shoegaze four-piece from Exeter/Bristol, Wish Hounds have played extensively throughout the South West. They released their debut E.P ‘Onlooker’ in 2018 and recently unleashed a great new single 'Thoroughbreds' in August 2021.
Inspired by artists such as The Cure, The Smiths, Depeche Mode and many more, the band’s music evokes romance, whimsy and Old English melancholia, through bittersweet lyrics, shimmering guitars and a driving rhythm section.
'an amalgamation of twisted guitars and warped yet clean-cut vocals that remind me of late 90’s dark synth pop with a sharp, hard rock edge to bring some added pace. Wish Hounds are a really exciting new band' On The House
