Shoun Shoun

No wave. No logic. Somewhere between art rock and electronica. Stuttering drums, liquid sex bass, post punk squonk and sporadic noise constitute a sound like no other. 

Shoun Shoun are the kind of band that make you remember why you fell in love with new music. This is music that crawls under your skin and sets up camp. It’s got grit, it’s got sweat, it’s got that late-night electricity. They deal in tension and texture, it’s intense without being overwhelming, experimental without disappearing into its own ideas. The rhythms don’t sit still, the electronics aren’t interested in behaving, and the vocals land like they were captured in the moment they became unavoidable. 

"Cherished local four-piece Shoun Shoun erupt in Siouxsie-summoning battle cries, moody post-punk dirges and goth-cabaret theatrics. Propelled by a punishing rhythm section and thick plumes of goosebump-inducing distortion, this is uncompromising ferocity FFO: Savages, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Gilla Band." Headfirst Editor’s Pick 

2026 will be spent releasing their 2nd album, continuing their push into the North, as well as planning their return to Europe to bend some ears. 

Shoun Shoun are the sum of their parts: Berlin has spent years battling ferocious noise in Bristol bands like Big Joan, Male, The Final Age and Rose Kemp, but finally felt an uncontrollable urge to do something totally different. The result is a set of songs of feminism, hormonal rollercoasters, masculine toxicity, racism, French criminals, and sex brought to life by musicians whose collective CV includes other Bristol legends like The Fantasy Orchestra and Chikinki.
