A gig held at Exchange on Wednesday 11th December. The event starts at 20:00.
Smile More
With We Be Villians and Dead Rubber Dolls
SMILE MORE
Featuring groove metal sensibilities combined with perishing vocals and scathing guitar licks, SMILE MORE have been cementing their place in the British Metal Scene. Having been described as 'West-end gone metal' by local critics, they bolster their shows with bravado and theatrics aplenty pulling the audience into their reality. They cherish the crowds they play for and continue to exceed audience expectation; reminding performers and crowds alike that the joy of a live gig is unparalleled, that music is best experienced rather than just passively consumed. Since their first appearance on the Bristol scene in 2019, SMILE MORE have quickly become a local legend. Their success alongside more established acts such as: Moon Reaper, The Masquerade and Injester to name but a few, has enabled them to distribute their own brand of infectious hysteria across the South-West. Distilling their love for macabre theatre, passion for showmanship, and their obsession for misfits. They've developed a delectable blend of delirious, prog-inspired madness into something equal parts mesmerising and horrifying.

We Be Villains
Hi you! Yes you! What's your favourite band? WRONG! It's now WE BE VILLAINS! A 5-piece band from the southwest who think relatable songwriting with exceptional musicianship and emotional intelligence is a bunch of f*cking bullsh*t.
With a complete lack of pretension but an abundance of snarky and sarcastic nonsense we're here to cause minor inconvenience, mild tinnitus and strangely sexual yet shameful feelings.

Dead Rubber Dolls are a 4 piece Alt Rock/Metal band from Bristol, UK.
Fusing an array of genres, the eclectic unpredictability of our songs draw System of a Down comparisons, while retaining our unique signature sound and provocative songwriting across the sphere of rock and metal.
Renowned for our energetic, interactive and quirky live performances, our reputation has earned us many great opportunities, including supporting Chris Holmes of W.A.S.P., Italian metal band Temperance and UK electronic metal artist Pretty Addicted. Since launching in 2021, we have played a string of prestigious venues across the South West and Wales; selling out a home town headline in March 2024. We made our London debut in August and have plans for a northern tour in 2025.
