RXPTRS

RXPTRS (pronounced "Raptors") are a Bristol-based rock quintet, carving a distinct path since their formation in 2018. Comprising vocalist Simon Roach, guitarists Ian Chadderton and Harley Watson, bassist Sam Leworthy, and drummer Mat Capper, RXPTRS fuse ferocious grit with a finely tuned sense of melody—a soundscape defined by boundary-pushing creativity and raw intensity. With a philosophy rooted in channelling personal experience into music, each track delivers uncompromising energy and lyrical weight, earning acclaim for their refusal to conform and their unmistakable sonic signature.

The band's dedication to the live music circuit is evident in their recent headline performance at Exchange in Bristol in September 2025, sharing the stage with Kite Thief, Fangs Out, and Our Nameless Boy. Additionally, RXPTRS have appeared as a support act for Cabin Boy Jumped Ship at The Black Cat in Bridgend, and their hard-earned reputation for explosive gigs continues to grow. Further afield, RXPTRS will be bringing their visceral live show to the FACEBAR in Reading in November 2026, where they will appear alongside a formidable lineup topped by INME. Renowned for a workhorse approach to touring, the group’s relentless drive has already seen them share bills with acts such as Escape the Fate, King 810, As It Is, and Light the Torch across the UK and Europe.

RXPTRS' discography includes electrifying singles like "Hellbillies" and "The World on My Tongue," as well as the acclaimed album "Living Without Death’s Permission." Their raucous sound and dynamic presence promise an unforgettable concert experience.
