Pest Control

Pest Control are a formidable presence on the UK’s crossover thrash and thrash metal scene, hailing from the United Kingdom and known for their relentless energy and uncompromising sound. With a discography that spans from early releases like Demo 2020 through to their acclaimed album Don't Test the Pest (2023), the band consistently delivers blistering tracks including “Buggin’ Out” and “Punishment Time”. Their latest EP, Year of the Pest, is slated for release in October 2024, following the single “Time Bomb” in August, further fuelling anticipation among metal enthusiasts.

On the live circuit, Pest Control have consistently proved their merit, whether headlining or supporting heavyweight acts. In September 2026, they commanded the stage as headliners at Liverpool’s Arts Club for the No Play Festival. Their dynamic sets have also seen them supporting Superheaven at renowned venues such as the Engine Rooms in Southampton, The Foundry in Torquay, and Sheffield’s Foundry. In June 2026, they played as part of a wide-ranging international bill supporting Touché Amoré at R.A.W. in Berlin. Notably, Pest Control’s presence at the 2025 Slam Dunk Festival in both Leeds and Hatfield placed them alongside leading bands like Knocked Loose and Malevolence, placing their genre-bending thrash in front of expansive festival crowds.

With further performances set alongside Three Knee Deep at Chalk in Brighton in September 2026, Pest Control show no signs of slowing in their commitment to raw, high-octane live music. Fans of crossover thrash and British metal should be sure to follow Pest Control and stay updated on their latest gigs and tour dates.
