Drella

Using both music and activism to fight against the economic struggles facing their hometown of Bradford, Drella combine politicised lyrics with gritty guitar riffs, catchy bass lines and thunderous drums to deliver their brand of politically charged alternative rock.

Recently championed by Tom Robinson on BBC 6 Music who called them “an incendiary new band”, as well as Alyx Holcombe on BBC Radio 1 who said “they make me want to mosh!”, Drella’s brave and unapologetic punk songs continue to earn praise from across the music industry.

Alongside press features in Clash Magazine and Louder Than War, 2023 also saw the Bradford trio embark on their first ever UK tour and receive support from Music:Leeds’ Launchpad programme, earning them a slot at Live At Leeds Festival. This momentum has continued into 2024 with a second UK tour on the horizon, including an appearance at Manchester’s Beyond the Music Festival and a support slot for Australian rock band DZ Deathrays.
