What sets Exit Child apart from other bands? nothing. We all just want to be heard, to be understood. we want to make music that matters.

Fresh-faced and full of the feels, exit child are seizing uk stages with their “grungy circus of angst and anarchy” (upset) – delivering jarring pulses, seething guitars and emotionally riotous vocals with “a barrage of bold, bare-chested bravado” (Kerrang!). Exhibiting an introspective dissection of compassionate anarchism, this bristol band stand with the disillusioned of their time – encapsulating both suffering and hope; the pain of disempowerment and the beauty of empowerment.

PHON
Brace yourselves for big riffs, screaming vocals and dirty breakdowns. The local boys from Worcester, draw influence from the hypnotic riffage of stoner rock. But throw elements of sludge, hardcore and grunge into the mix to create a sonic force to be reckoned with.
