Sunglasz Vendor Album Launch + Support

Formed from members of Bristol's avant-garde underbelly (Bingo Fury, Ex-Agent, Big Fuss, Grandchild) at the start of 2023, Sunglasz Vendor sees devout experimentalists turn to embrace the eternal comforts of rock radio hooks, pensive emo, and Kerrang! teenage angst.

Setting up camp in the basement of iconic local venue The Louisiana, Unwinding was recorded with William Carkeet across eight days in the bleak Winter months of 2023/24 - barely one year on from the band’s first rehearsal. Many of the songs play host to backing vocals from the local DIY music community, with members of Minor Conflict, Pet Shimmers, Foot Foot and Robbie & Mona nestled among the chaos.

The result is a daringly skittish attempt at nostalgia; a classic guitar/bass/drums trio where all the elements are grating up against each other, teetering on the edge between the Guitar Hero canon and free-form anarchy. Across eight tracks, Unwinding candidly observes how people can change for the worse as they are slowly crushed by the mundanity of modern life.

Presented by Sunglasz Vendor.
