Saloon Dion

Saloon Dion plays high-powered, guitar driven post-punk that taps into the kind of punk energy that sometimes brings their sound close to bands like IDLES and Heavy Lungs. They play strong beats and catchy riffs, with some surprising classic rock elements tucked away: in particular, some of the guitar licks and the always more than welcome clicking of a cowbell in the background. There are also some garage elements occasionally peeking around the corner as well. The band was put together by the members of a few Bristol area bands who seem to have found a new home here, with especially vocalist Dave Sturgess sounding like he is having the time of his life.
