“Bruise Control have carved themselves an unlikely name in DIY scene… creating hook-filled, razor-sharp indie-punk”– Louder Than War
Sitting somewhere between 00’s indie and 80’s hardcore, Bruise Control have carved themselves an unlikely name in DIY punk, thanks to their catalogue of self-produced releases and a notoriety for chaotic live shows. Guitarist Niall Griffin, bassist Ru Gilfillan and drummer Tommy Victor Morris focus on creating hook-filled, razor-sharp indie punk, grounded by lead singer Jim Taylor’s down to earth lyricism and ferocious delivery.
