Background

In 2019, they compiled features with Master Peace, TeenSlasher91 & Worstworldproblem. These collaborations contributed to their creation of K.O.#1. [1] The band started when lead singer, Joey Ashworth, decided they wanted to start a musical group that represented people they wanted to be like at college. [2] [3] Ashworth chose the name because they "thought it was funny to make ambient music but make it sound like a powerviolence band." [4]

Their composition has fluctuated in recent years. [5] [6] [7]

Their debut album was "Oh Dearism". [8] [9]

Ashworth sings on every song on the album. [10] The album was released with Alcopop! Records and Failure By Design. [11] The Alternative gave them a "Good" album review in November 2018. [12] By 2020, it had already racked up hundreds of thousands of plays on streaming platforms. [13]

They have appeared in the Handmade Festival in 2019 and hosted a special showcase at the Great Escape. [14] [15] [16]

Indie rock is a subgenre of rock music that originated in the United Kingdom, United States and New Zealand in the early to mid-1980s. Although the term was originally used to describe rock music released through independent record labels, by the 1990s it became more widely associated with the music such bands produced.

Alternative rock is a category of rock music that evolved from the independent music underground of the 1970s. Alternative rock acts achieved mainstream success in the 1990s with the likes of the grunge, shoegaze, and Britpop subgenres in the United States and United Kingdom, respectively. During this period, many record labels were looking for "alternatives", as many corporate rock, hard rock, and glam metal acts from the 1980s were beginning to grow stale throughout the music industry. The emergence of Generation X as a cultural force in the 1990s also contributed greatly to the rise of alternative rock.

The Bristol underground scene is a cultural movement in Bristol beginning in the early 1980s. The scene was born out of a lack of mainstream clubs catering for the emergence of hip hop music, with street and underground parties a mainstay. Crews formed playing hip hop in disused venues with sound systems borrowed from the reggae scene: City Rockers, 2 Bad, 2 Tuff, KC Rock, UD4, FBI, Dirty Den, Juice Crew, Rene & Bacus, Soul Twins, KC Rock, Fresh 4, and The Wild Bunch were among them. These names were the precursors to the more well known names that came from this scene. It is characterized by musicians and graffiti artists.
