**NEW** Shout To The Suburbs Live at The Croft, Bristol
"The best bits of The Stones, The Stripes and The Stooges...STUNNING!
Lovely, heavy, fuzzy songs nodding towards The White Stripes and The Rolling Stones, performed with slurry, sulky vocals, insolent swaggers and nasty growly antique guitars being elegantly massacred. - Venue Magazine
FIGMENT, 3 guys, 3 instruments, 3 words - Rock and Roll.
A sound which is at once timeless and all their own.
No scenes, no clever genres, no gimmicks. Just honest music.
Perhaps that is their gimmick.
"When did 'Rock' become a dirty word?" they ask.
The word isn't dirty, but the music is. A visceral, thrilling mix of all that was good about The Stones, The Stooges, The Sonics and The MC5 and all that is good about The White Stripes, Black Rebel Motorcycle Club, Queens Of The Stone Age and Blues Explosion. Spiky blues riffs wrap around a rhythm section that actually grooves. Words of youthful world-weariness. Deft musicianship behind the punk rock clatter.
Contradictons.
Perhaps that is their gimmick.

Digging The FIG...:

"Figment produce the kind of no frills rock that makes The White Stripes look like overproduced pussies...Honest, raw, brutal and bruised, Figment demand you sit up and take notice." - UKMusicsearch

"They are a band you're not going to get tired of having a dance to because they have what makes lastingly good music: catchiness, attitude, simple effective songwriting, and a passion for playing live. These four things will carry them into the future. Make sure you're they're with them." - Musicandwordsreviews

"From the first chord, the audience was transfixed; Figment live are raw energy, from the first song to the last they provided excellent entertainment that we in the audience were privileged to be part of. For me this is the ultimate live musical experience." - Bristol Rocks

"Hurling huge riffs around the stage, they manage to swagger and sneer like a band playing to a sold-out stadium." - OxStu Newspaper

"Figment have an inner strength and a hungry talent for songwriting that sets them apart from many of their contemporaries." - Toxic Pete

"Figment provide something meatier than the wares offered by the average contemporary indie group." - Cherwell

"Do you dig the fig? asks the compere, to which we must heartily respond "Rather"." - Venue Magazine
