Its cutting guitar lines and catchy melodies bring anthemic indie rock to the forefront, shadowing the true anguish brooding beneath its surface. Kailan’s lyrics are displayed honestly like a body cut open for heart-surgery, telling a bleak story of his personal battle with crippling depression and anxiety. A story of someone lost in their own head, imprisoned. The guitars are nostalgic, the bass thumps and the drums hit hard amongst an ominous atmosphere. Its feelings of dread paired with post-punk revival guitar lines, It brings to mind a strange alternate universe. One in which Bloc Party didn’t know what love was and released their debut Silent Alarm on The Flenser. A strange vibe perhaps, but one it seems people are here for. Summoned initially by singer-songwriter, Kailan Price, but now a five-piece band, bloody/bath are slowly becoming a cult favourite. Transitioning from their early days as lofi indie rockers, bloody/bath released their debut EP ‘All Love Unfelt in 2023, a record that showed them transform into a menacing, spaced out post-punk outfit to acclaim from 6 Music’s Iggy Pop and Steve Lamacq as well as praise from Under The Radar, Destroy/Exist and Louder Than War
