Bendricks are a four-piece from Barry in Wales. They’re made up of Mitch Griggs (lead singer / rhythm guitar), Dom Griggs (lead guitar / backing vocals), Rhys Greening (bass), and Aaron Abraham (drums).
Formed just over a year ago, Bendricks began as a spark of inspiration from lead singer Mitch, whose passion for songwriting led him to recruit close friends. Greening was instructed to join the band and ask for a bass for Christmas despite having zero experience. It wasn’t until Mitch’s brother joined on lead guitar that band was fully realised. Now, where have we heard that dynamic before?
Let’s see what they have been up to:
Listerine
The early playfulness of Blur is injected with aggression on this firesome single. Hints of early Kasabian ooze through Mitch’s vocal whist Greening’s basslines groove to a place between the recent wave of post-punk and early 00s US indie.
Missile Talk
Mitch Griggs’ vocal cadence has found its feet here. From the poetic to the spiteful, Griggs wraps his distinct delivery around his brothers’ guitars with a unique guile.
Brother Dom’s skill set has also expanded. His solo on ‘Listerine’ was raw; now, it's intensely divine!
