ASK MY BULL
A musical chimera that combines the visceral energy of punk, the danceability of drum'n'bass and the intriguing nuance of jazz: Ask My Bull is delightfully hyperactive and cinematically epic.
Beautiful chaos or a bittersweet play-fight? Ask My Bull birthed CREATURE, their first full-length album. It was released on the world in June 2019 and barely contains the energy of the band’s journey between man and beast.
Always primed for festival season, Ask My Bull’s has rocked many of the best, including Shambala, Boomtown, Beat-herder, Kendal Calling, Eden, Kelburn Garden Party, Nozstock and One Tribe/Audio Farm. 
They provided the soundtrack for Vewn's viral video 'Cat City', which currently has almost 2 million views on YouTube. The collaboration later aired on Adult Swim, with the band's track 'Army of Swans' providing the soundtrack to Vewn's short 'Mask Dog'. The band even created a haunting live score for the play Oct.O.Pus... who knows what they will be getting up to next...

The band has recently completed their line up, adding a second sax player and are excited to write new material and gig in support of their album.
Ask My Bull can easily take the title for our favourite new band of the year... They’re the kind of band that will easily out-dance the crowd all whilst serving up insanely intricate music that worms its way into your very soul and refuses to be ousted." - Yack Magazine

"Ask My Bull is a band with hypnotic and tightly wound momentum ... These Manchester masters have a unique quality to their song construction ... Having some tight pocket and funky tensions, the groove shares many aspects with drum and bass. This layering of textures really makes [them] sound full and complete." – Pat Clavel, SPREAD

"Imagine the mathematical mind of Mickey Mouse playing chess with a sledge hammer. That's Ask My Bull. Punk atittude with a nice warm shower and of course they take prisoners, that's were the real fun starts. Dressed up as corpses for your kids' Bar Mitzvah. Juggling around unconscious ears with a void brain and a spread open heart. So, if you believe there is a life after right now, don't miss the after party! Cocktail away." – Glandula Pineal, film-maker and poet

"Their music is like a journey through unknown forest. It is similar to ours in terms of power and progression, but way more flamboyant." - Eduardo, The Kingdom Lost

"Ask My Bull sounds like doodling with music instead of pen." Elena Cau, Blonde Lips

"A joyful mix of captivating gypsy jazz guitar riffs and progressive sax lead melodies. In parts their style courts with the visceral anarchal feel of rock, with a playful dash of distortion here and there." - Joel White, M20 Collective

ELLiS*D
As a generation falls deeper into despondency over a seemingly non-existent future, ELLiS·D takes fear, hope and a touch of melancholy to create unapologetically honest, and at times frantic lyrics.
