9 Lesser Known Bands That Are Looking To Blow Up In 2020

1. Binbag Wisdom

Is it hip-hop? Is it jazz? Is it 50s rock with a lyrical twist? Who the heck knows and quite honestly who cares? This mutant music mash-up plucks out the still-beating heart of all your favorite genres, gobbles em up, shits out the cliches and proceeds to spit dragon fire with the power of the best bits. There isn’t a single part of this Frankenstein’s monster that doesn't demand love, from the oboe to the breakbeat drums, it comes together so deliciously smooth that you can’t even see the stitching.

Based out of Bristol this band has worked their butts off touring and building themselves upon the scene as one of the hottest bands on the circuit. Those that have encountered that and worshipped at the altar of their live shows will happily tell you that this is one of the best live acts in the country right now, and you need to get yourself amongst that converted faithful.

Debut album “100 Years Of Binbag Wisdom” collects together their back catalog of tunes and tongue in cheek wordplay. Tracks like “Hospitality” and “WRDS” show off precisely what they do best, which is cunning linguistics, heartfelt and righteous wit and self-examination, along with a hefty dose of musical wizardry.

If you had any doubt at just how ridiculously talented this group of musicians is, attend a gig near you and watch them freestyle jam out a makeshift banger that would put the majority of meticulously crafted songs to shame.
