The story of jesus bruiser starts in the mists of time, New Years Eve 2005, Bristol, Easton, A living room in a squat… a lethal combination of ingredients came together to form a vile cocktail that has been bruising innocent people ever since. The cocktail was:

It was consumed and people exclaimed “jesus!” more was consumed and the next day people felt as though they’d been crucified and a feeling of internal bruising lasting up to 3 days followed. Later they recovered as if they had risen from the dead, feeling fine.

Time passed and the legend took on a new form…

The band started rehearsing in a cellar with smelly drains and frequent wafts of cat piss punctuated with the occasional downward flush of someones shite from upstairs through the pipes. A perfect setting for the creation of a new genre of music:

We are an anarcho-punk band and identify with the anti-capitalist and autonomist movement. Since our inception we have played benefit gigs for climate change activists, social centres and communal art spaces, anti-fascist football tournaments, youth music programmes, campaigns against the arms trade, radical freepapers, vegan prisoner support and Anarchist Black Cross groups, fox-hunt saboteurs, the defence of active squats, Bristol Anarchist Bookfair, resistance against the British National Party, the movement for the abolition of immigration controls, and more. Many of these gigs we organise ourselves.
