Alpaca Presents
Family Man
+ Witch Hook, Portrait Of & Woermhole
•———•———•———•
Relentless and brutal are the two words that define the group’s evolving sound. With punk roots and power-pop sensibilities, Alternative-Punk band Family Man burst onto the scene in 2019.
•———•———•———•
Witch Hook are a queer fronted, two-piece gothic punk band hailing from Bristol. Known for their wild and raw live performances drenched in sweat, blood and tears. Taking influences from bands such as The Cramps, The Cure, SOFT PLAY and B-Movie Horror Films. Witch Hook will tell you bedtime stories that’ll have you quaking in your punk rock boots.
•———•———•———•
Portrait Of developed their sound and style during a very strange era indeed. With an eclectic range of influences, from the 90’s underground scene, to modern post-punk bands such as Deerhunter and Ought, to Talking Heads, Portrait
•———•———•———•
The heavy, no punches pulled sound of Woermhole is defined by loud
droning guitars, a heavy rhythm section and hard, gritty, siren song
vocals, drawing inspirations from that familiar, grungy mid-90s sound.
They also take from a more modern metal sound, and a sense of style
that oozes grit. Woermhole pride themselves on being an original
band, with a new sound writing only the finest, and heaviest, alt rock.
