Knowle West Boy

Tricky

Aggressive basslines and whispered street tales. A high-energy return to Bristol roots that trades murky trip-hop for jagged, punk-inflected urban rock.

Find on Amazon

It's Tricky's punk-rock homecoming, full of heavy bass and stories from the Bristol streets.

A restless and defiant urban energy that balances grit with cinematic nostalgia.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The explosive, punk-infused energy of Council Estate where the drums hit with unexpected aggression
The haunting duet on Past Mistake where the whispered vocals intertwine with a melancholic string loop
The jittery, high-tension guitar riff that drives the opening of Puppy Toy
