Hear ‘Entropy’, the new EP from Vena Cava

By Adam Burrows  Friday May 26, 2017

When Bristol24/7 programmed the main stage at Brisfest 2016, Vena Cava were an obvious choice to play. They didn’t let us down.

The noise-rock trio blazed their way into gig-goers affections four years ago with a sound that paired tempestuous riffs with the heady incantations of singer-guitarist Christelle Atenstaedt.

Four-track EP Entropy is the band’s first release since their 2015 debut album, and it’s their most impressive so far.

EatDrink24/7 Launch Party is back on July 8 2026!
Exclusive collabs from Bristol’s favourite food vendors, available for one night only. Be first to grab your free copy of the EatDrink24/7 guide – plus every ticket comes with a free limited-edition beer can.

Psychedelic rockers in the broadest sense, Vena Cava’s rambling song structures slide deliciously between crystalline melody, Saharan drones and intense, grunge-inspired heaviness.

The second release on Bristol’s Noctone label, which we profiled hereEntropy is officially launched at Exchange on June 8 with support from Agathe Max.

You can buy it online now direct from the label, or from iTunes if you insist.
