Bruise Control are a four-piece DIY punk/garage-rock band from Manchester, UK. Their music sits at the sharp intersection of early-2000s indie and ’80s hardcore — a blend of gritty riffs, raw vocals and a punk ethos that never compromises on energy. Their tracks like “No More” and “Left Behind” highlight their knack for combining melodic hooks with a sense of urgency and angst.
Live, Bruise Control have built a reputation for chaotic, no-holds-barred performances, delivering sweaty, cathartic gigs in venues up and down the UK. They’ve also been active on the festival circuit, showing up on line-ups like 2000 Trees Festival, expanding their audience beyond Manchester’s DIY scene.
The event is taking place at Hare and Hounds, Birmingham. See individual listings for full venue details.
Tickets go on sale on Wednesday 30th September 2026 at 10:00am.
Ticket prices may vary depending on venue and location. Full pricing details are available on each individual event page.
