Band: Nelson St.
From: Midlands, UK


Their formation story:
(Luc, guitar/vocals): "We're based in the Midlands, UK, and that's where we're from, but we met in Bristol when we were at University. The three of us have just always had great chemistry as mates so when we all started getting into hardcore it was only natural that we formed this band!"

Their sound in their own words:
"I would describe our sound as groovy and upbeat. We were all basically obsessed with Turnstile and always had that Outbreak 2015 live video on every time we hung out, so I'd say they are a huge influence on our sound."


Latest release info:
"We've been playing these songs live for a while now and decided it's about time we released something halfway decent! We recorded with Boulty at Stuck On A Name Studios and we're super proud of how it turned out. CDs coming soon via Guillotine Records!"

Future plans:
"We're planning to record a couple of new tracks very soon, but aside from that we just wanna play some more shows!"

What other bands from their region should we check out?
"Full Contact, Brazen Bull, Emancipation, Word to the Wise, Bitewound, Human Deceit, and Kurt Strangle. There's definitely a bunch we've missed, but the EMHC scene is thriving and there's so many sick bands!"
