Witch Hook

Witch Hook, a gothic blend of 90s grunge and 80s post-punk hailing from Bristol, UK. Known for their alternative, melancholic, visceral performances of their special sound drawing influence from Placebo, Pixies, My Chemical Romance and Radiohead. The 4 piece consists of Dott, V, Harry and Jake who have been making their rounds of the southwest alt scene for some time now. Having recently released their most emotional track to date, Beguilement - garnering their first BBC Introducing play. Formed back in 2021, the band has changed form since then but firmly rooted in the alt-punk scene - now bringing a refreshing but nostalgic feel to the scene - engrossed in the macabre stylings of horror B-movies, Edgar Allan Poe poetry and personal stories about love, hate, death and lust. Described by The Bristol Gig Guide as '...steeped in angst, anxiety, and aggression, Witch Hook's music transcends mere entertainment, delving deep into the darkest recesses of the human psyche.' With festival appearances at Attitude Festival, Dot 2 Dot and more and plays on BBC Introducing. Witch Hook have played some of Bristol's most infamous venues such as Thekla, The Fleece, Exchange and The Louisiana. They have played alongside bands such as Knives , The Menstrual Cramps , BEX , Family Man and Horror Vacui They embark on their first headline tour this September with a hometown show headlining The Lanes, Bristol after their sell out headline last September.
