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. Niall Griffin (guitar), Ru Gilfillan (bass) and Tommy Victor Morris (drums) focus on creating hook-filled, razor-sharp indie-punk, grounded by lead singer Jim Taylor’s down to earth lyricism and ferocious delivery.
Today, the Manchester quartet release their brand-new single, ‘Gone To Ground’, alongside it’s official music video.
Vocalist Jim Taylor shares, “Gone to ground is an exploration of the kind of apathetic, helpless and angry feelings we all have when it comes to keeping it all together. It’s also a comment on nothing ever being perfect, that it never will be and how much time we spend on the smaller things in life instead of looking towards common ground.”
Guitarist Niall Griffin continues, “I was trying to write a Spiritual Cramp song.”
