DIEZELBUD - Meet Diezelbud, the post punk indie band hailing from the streets of Oxfordshire's Bletchingdon. Drawing inspiration from the likes of The Cure, Sonic Youth and Current Joys, their music is a mix of catchy melodies, jangly guitar riffs and tongue-in-cheek humour.
Having both grown up in this sleepy village, Cam and George spent their formative years together using dog walks as excuses to not revise for their GCSEs and skateboarding down the village hall car park. After years of unweaponised mutual musical interest and taste, they finally decided to collaborate during the lockdowns and recorded an album aptly titled BLETCH in George's garage.
Since, they are joined by George Purchon (drums), Matthew Grainger (keys and vocals) and Angus McKay (bass) and are gaining notoriety in the Oxford and London live music scenes for delivering captivating and chaotic live performances. Keep your eyes on the boys in their Bletch vs The World mission.
