Bloodsports

Bloodsports are playing at The Green Door Store in Brighton on 10 November 2026. The show is presented by JOY. It's a chance to see the Brooklyn four-piece in a live setting as part of their wider touring schedule for the year, which also includes appearances at SXSW and dates across the country and internationally.

The band consists of Sam Murphy on guitar and vocals, Jeremy Mock on guitar, Liv Eriksen on bass and vocals, and Scott Hale on drums. They describe their sound as a blend of "angular sedition" and "economical melodies," aiming to create music that helps alleviate the weight of autodestruction. This specific approach to songwriting is central to their debut album, Anything Can Be A Hammer. The record marks a shift in their creative direction, moving towards something more dynamic and mature. It balances experimentation with emotional depth, a direction that has caught the attention of outlets like Stereogum, Vice, Alternative Press, and Consequence. If you've been following the indie scene, you might recognise them from their previous performances alongside acts such as They Are Gutting A Body of Water, Starcleaner Reunion, and Brutus VII. Their live set is designed to showcase this evolution, bringing the textures of the record into a physical space.

The show runs from 19:30 until 23:00. Because it's taking place at a venue with an 18+ age restriction, you'll need to make sure you have ID with you. While the ticket price is currently listed as TBC, the option to book tickets online is available through the official event page. It’s a straightforward setup for a Tuesday night, giving you a look at their latest material in a live environment. The band's focus on balancing their earlier work with the new material from Anything Can Be A Hammer suggests a set that covers their development as a group. It is a clear opportunity to see how these four musicians translate their studio sound into a live performance.
