THE RUMBLE-O's are a band of some of Bristol's finest musicians - guitarist Andy Taylor, keyboard sorceress Helen Stanley, low-end navigator Gaz Williams, and rhythm-engine driver James Phillips - who play as if they’ve been beamed straight out of a lost 1960s surf film and dropped onto a modern stage with their reverb tanks still warm. Their music is a lush collision of surf-rock twang, spy-movie swagger and retro-future charm: instrumental soundscapes that feel like the soundtrack to a forgotten Tarantino sequence or a sun-bleached road movie.
They channel the raw electricity of early-’60s surf music, big beats, bigger guitars, oceans of spring reverb, but update it with modern punch, swagger and a cinematic edge.
The band’s sound pulls from everywhere: the blistering attack of Dick Dale, the shadowy cool of ’60s spy themes, the quirky brilliance of Joe Meek, even touches of spaghetti-western tension and space-age pop.
The result is a live show that hits hard, moves fast, and refuses to let the audience sit still. Their performances are playful yet tight, vintage yet fresh. A blast of adrenaline that turns any room into a surf-soaked dance party.
When The Rumble-O’s take the stage, consider yourself warned: the tremolo will shake, the drums will rumble, and the energy will hit like a wave.
For audiences, it’s a trip through dusty desert highways, neon-lit boardwalks and far-out space stations.
