Emerging from the cultural melting pot of Bristol's vibrant underground scene, WINDSHAKE embodies the unbound frontiers of musical exploration.
This audacious six-piece collective rejects conformity, drawing inspiration from the raw essence of youth culture to craft music that plumbs the depths of the human mind.
An interplay of funky basslines, African-infused drum rhythms, and the poignant blend of poetic lyrics and evocative guitar tones paints a vivid musical tapestry, a true reflection of their urban origins.

🖤Monday May 11
🖤ZED ALLEY (Bristol)
Straight out of Bristol’s underground, Windshake are carving their own lane and heading straight to Zed Alley this May!🌪️
The six-piece collective channel the raw energy of the city’s grassroots scene - where late nights, backstreet venues, and creative freedom shape a sound that refuses to sit still. Blending psych-folk with bold, leftfield songwriting, they’re driven by instinct, experimentation, and the spirit of youth culture.
Expect a sound that’s loose, rhythmic, and full of movement: funk-driven basslines, African-inspired percussion, shimmering guitars, and poetic lyricism all colliding into something immersive and unpredictable.
Restless. Raw. Unfiltered.
DONT MISS IT.

Very pleased to share that Windshake is returning for another Below the Belt Thursday.
Diving deep into progressive ideas, jazz influences, samba rhythms, poetic lyricism, sonically rich and experimental. The Bristol six-piece have emerged from the creation of their third album with a new vision of the Art Prog sound.

Thank you to everyone who came out and saw us last night, and welcome to you all people who saw us for the first time!
And massive thanks to the @thegallibristol & @belowthebeltproductions & @elemesuk for putting us on — we had a blast!
Also big round of applause to @ekricsoot who stepped in on percussion.

This Thursday we’re playing at the @thegallibristol which will be an evening hosted by @belowthebeltproductions
It won’t be one to miss, so come along! We’re on around 9:30pm, and it’s free entry too!
Also, this is… a little clip from our live session video we did, filmed and performed at our studio.
It’s a song called ‘Brass Pigs’ and if you haven’t seen the full thing yet, don’t hesitate to watch it, by following the link, in that bio of ours — and if you like the sound of it, and you want listen more for that sweet endless pleasure, you can do that, by buying the live EP on our Bandcamp.
