Sceptres

It might be the sea air or something, but Brighton seems to have this uncanny ability to spew out amazing bands almost at will. It’s as if at the end of each day everybody who lives there clears the tourists out and goes to play in their amazing genre-busting band. The Sceptres are one of the town’s luminaries that have been pricking our ears recently.

Featuring members of Shitty Limits and Backstabbath, they’re this incredible party band who are equal parts hardcore and punk pop which jitters along with the aid of Bryony’s frantic howls. To break it down even further, they’re pretty much The Adolescents in party frocks – a scary thought we know, but an amazing one when you think about it.
