Hailing from Manchester, Bruise Control are a garage punk quartet formed in 2018. Comprising Jim Taylor (vocals), Devon Cryer (guitar), Tommy Victor Morris (drums) and Niall Griffin (bass), the band quickly established themselves on the UK DIY scene with their raw-energy-drenched live shows and self-released singles such as "Taxman" (2022) and "Dead on Arrival " (2023), before signing to TNS Records for their debut album Useless For Something (2023), followed by the Useless for Something Live Sessions (2023) and Bruise Control (2026) EPs.
