Mollusk is a three piece alternative band from Bridgwater, Somerset. They formed in 2023, coming together from a shared love of sleazy guitar solos, screaming, comfortable awkwardness, and being nice to each other. Musically, the band initially bonded over their shared love of <a href="spotify:artist:3l14gV4hIMAjmo7KUvEWTx" data-name="Elastica">Elastica</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:3btzEQD6sugImIHPMRgkwV" data-name="Wolf Alice">Wolf Alice</a>, and <a href="spotify:artist:5SHQUMAmEK5KmuSb0aDvsn" data-name="Hole">Hole</a>… and guitarist Grace’s obsession with <a href="spotify:artist:3nnQpaTvKb5jCQabZefACI" data-name="Jeff Buckley">Jeff Buckley</a>. The band’s debut single ‘Taken By The Wind’ is a 4 minute jagged post-punk anti ballad that perfectly introduces the band's fizzing janky grunge energy, direct whip smart lyricism and burnt sugar ear for skewed pop melody. The band recently supported Fierce Panda act <a href="spotify:artist:3ygItx4xOyxkoaAZD9sc19" data-name="China Bears">China Bears</a> on their SXSW warm up, and disco punk band Wicked Chip, before their first official headline show at the Bridgwater Arts Centre.
