About Me

CountrySide's next Show:
CLICK HERE to read full review by BROKEN DIAL (NEW YORK) "laconic slacker rock come shoegaze dreaming from Bristol newcomers" - LOFI-HIFI
"...a seriously top band and a great addition to Bristol's vibrant music scene" - Bristol Uncovered
"Countryside. Rocked like the indie rock gods they are destined to become. A touch of Grandaddy here, and a hint of Flaming Lips there, all adds up to a great band...When they're massive, I hope they'll give us some support slots!" - Beatnik Filmstars
"..one of Bristol's best new bands, pilers of dreamy, psychadelic, distorted pop soundscapes" & "Psychedelic guit-pop shaped soundscapes, dreamy, laconic vocals, and the reason for that their red star" & "Band of the Year 2007" - Venue Magazine
"Epic and dreamy synth-tinged rock from these fine melodic shoegazers - hints of Grandaddy & Guided by Voices topped with heavenly laconic vocals and a heady psychedelic sensibility" - RaRaRa Promotions
"Hypnotic gentle vocals and acid-trippin' melodies from this weirdy beardy but beautiful guitar-pop band. Fuzzy guitars and squelchy Moog sounds, Countryside have wowed Bristol audiences on their epic musical journeys. A style of their own, but sprinkled with the warped genius of Grandaddy, Mercury Rev, Flaming Lips, Guided By Voices and White Album-period Beatles. So join us for a trip through the Countryside..." GO APE
"Gentle psych-beat pop songs wafted in on a wave of backwards guitar...something like a dream Bagpuss had about something the mice found on the way home from a party that turned out to be a British psych-pop box set. Choral choruses, pastoral melodies and impish fuzz guitar slide in and out of the sound picture to make a hazy summers day of a song. Search somewhere between the gentler side of Love, The Beatles, when they discovered all you need is love (and acid), and the poppier side of Guided By Voices." - PURR Records

Slacker rock / indie / alternative.The Countryside were reared in a barn. ThATs Not aLL.... Electric shocks came and went, jokes were told and lost, haircuts few and far between, girls went. Chocolate fingers & distance memories of bbq's is all that remains.
