There are several projects named Brides. 1) A progressive post-hardcore band from Brighton, England, United Kingdom 2) A queer southern gothic rock band from London, England.
1) Brides was a progressive post-hardcore band from Brighton, England, United Kingdom.
A striking and highly dynamic blend of punk, prog, post-hardcore and straight up rock, Brides draw as much influence from Hot Water Music and A Wilhelm Scream as they do from Mew or Dire Straits, confidently overlaying styles usually kept separate to create an elaborate yet accessible concoction.
Though only 18 months young, Brighton crossover quartet BRIDES are shaping up as one of the UK's most intriguing new bands. Since their formation in May 2007, the band have already shared stages with the likes of A Wilhelm Scream, Gallows, Architects, Devil Sold His Soul and Your Demise, Brides’ own eclectic musical character allowing them to simultaneously fit their feet to any bill whilst standing out as bold and unique.

But now the time has come for Brides to take the next step. Along with the recent recruitment of long time friend Max D’Albiac into the lead vocalist position, Brides have hooked up with Visible Noise Records (Bring Me The Horizon, Lostprophets, Bullet For My Valentine) for the release of their debut mini-album Ocular.Unveil.
Boasting Brides’ trademark duelling vocals and a positive slew of ambition and honesty, Ocular.Unveil was produced and recorded at Outhouse Studios, Reading by John Mitchell and Ben Humphreys (Youmeatsix, Architects, Enter Shikari) and will see a nationwide release via Visible Noise in early 2009.
