Projector bring experimental noise to The Sunflower Lounge

Brighton trio Projector headline The Sunflower Lounge on Monday, October 13, bringing their distinctive fusion of alt-rock, post-punk and industrial textures to Birmingham’s underground scene. Known for their bold sonic palette and unpredictable live shows, the band have built a reputation for pushing boundaries, both musically and visually.

Formed in 2018, Projector blends angular rhythms, lush harmonies, and hook-heavy riffs with a DIY ethos that has seen them self-produce and record their own material. Their debut album, Now When We Talk It’s Violence, is a whirlwind of genre collisions that veers from Joy Division-inspired darkness to Squid-style chaos, with flashes of warped country and grunge-infused pop. It’s a record that thrives on contrast, and their live set promises to be just as dynamic.

Joining the bill are The Bunny Suit, a post-punk outfit from the North West whose stripped-back sound delivers raw immediacy and jagged minimalism. Their music is urgent, atmospheric, and built for the stage.

Opening the night are Rood End, a rising West Midlands band formed in late 2023. Drawing influence from Shame, Fontaines D.C. and The Murder Capital, they channel the restless energy of contemporary post-punk with a sharp local edge.
