Bristol barely paused after Pride took over The Downs, and now Harbour Festival is filling the waterfront with live music, emerging artists and sounds from across the city.

This week’s roundup stretches across nearly every corner of Bristol music.

Our Underground Release of the Week is HiJINX with Nish — dark, stripped-back and full of proper underground Bristol pressure.

Our Editorial Pick of the Week is The Scuttlers with Step Out, a twitchy and unpredictable piece of experimental art rock released alongside How Come.

Also featured this week:

Fred V – Daydreaming
T>I – Lost for Words
Primitive Instinct – Acid Ritual
Cryptbreaker – Infernal Bleeding
Mista E – Truth Hurts
Leem feat. Boci – Winds of Time
Axle – Trip
Leathers – Party People
Motion Severn feat. Da Fuchaman – Got Music

The blog also looks back at Bristol Pride and ahead to Harbour Festival, where we are especially looking forward to Dr Meaker at the Amphitheatre and discovering new talent on the Bristol Rising stage.
