Next month sees the launch of The Bristol Germ a new music magazine "designed to document and promote a dramatic new episode in underground and avant-garde music" carrying on in that fair city.

The debut issue features IDLES, Giant Swan, Spectres, Iceman Furniss, Thorny and Oliver Wilde and will be available to buy physically and read online for free on November 25.

There is a launch gig at a secret location - although one would presume in Brizzle - on the same date, featuring Naturals and newcomers Scalping. Check out The Bristol Germ FB page for more details.
