Aqualine + SØWT

A Bristol concert by Aqualine, a Guildford alternative rock band on their first UK tour in support of the EP Tripwire, with SØWT also on the bill.

Aqualine are an alternative rock five-piece from Guildford, and this date forms part of their first UK tour, held in support of their new EP, Tripwire. Their music blends post-punk aggression, grunge and ethereal shoegaze, with bold experimental touches running through it.

Lyrically, the band turns to mental stability, a sense of detachment and self-identity in early adulthood. Tripwire is presented as a raw, emotionally charged collection, following the restless pull of intrusive thoughts and the self-doubt of feeling like a fraud, set against a sonically agitated backdrop.

SØWT also appear on the bill. The Lanes, a Bristol venue that mainly hosts concerts, has a programme focused on pop, rock and indie music, which matches the styles on this evening's bill.
