Spitalfield

On 29 September 2026 at Exchange in Bristol, Spitalfield lead a bill that pulls together different shades of alternative rock and emo for a focused, guitar-driven night.

Spitalfield take the stage with crisp, melodic guitars and chorus-forward songwriting. Their set leans on tight arrangements and clean dynamics, a balance of drive and clarity that keeps the hooks close to the surface.

Massachusetts-born Jonah Matranga moves between Far’s post-hardcore inheritance and the pared-back writing of onelinedrawing. Live, he shifts easily from electric grain to acoustic nuance, letting a direct, conversational voice carry the songs. Across projects like New End Original and Gratitude, and collaborations with Thursday, Deftones or Fort Minor, he keeps melody at the center while leaving space for the words to land.

Jon Walker brings his own songwriting and guitar work, favoring clean lines, unshowy playing and a steady melodic pulse.

Gambling With Dogs round out the lineup, setting the tone early and keeping the energy up across the night.
