Bendricks are a five-piece from Barry, South Wales. They can be defined by their combination of psychedelic turns, rock swagger, and infectious indie hooks - whatever it takes to make the song hit harder. There are no gimmicks with Bendricks, and certainly no filler. This is just music that will stay with you.

Brothers Mitch and Dominic Griggs are the engine room. Songwriting runs in the family - their dad played in 80s synth-pop outfit The Russians - and the brothers picked up the habit early. Dominic's guitar work and Mitch's vocals are the sound you recognise before you even know the name of the band.

Bendricks is rounded out with Rhydian Greening on bass, Aaron Abraham on drums, and, now Sam Stopgate on tambourine, percussion, and full-time crowd-whipping duty. He’s a self-appointed party starter, officially ratified by the rest of the band. Five people, one amazing chemistry - it's there in the rehearsal room and, more importantly, it's there on stage.

They formed in 2024, but don't let that fool you. The early songs landed fast with big choruses, driving guitars, and nothing dressed up or hiding behind production. The live shows did the rest. Sold-out rooms in Cardiff. Sold-out rooms in London. Big festivals, and shows everywhere in between.

Then came Studio 250, tucked away in the Forest of Dean, where the band went in to cut some tracks with producer Danny Thomas. Bendricks walked out as the first band signed to the newly launched Studio 250 Records. There’s no small print, and no watered-down version of the band. Studio 250 became a home built on the same idea they started with: make the records you want to make.

With a fanbase and catalogue that is growing, a live show that leaves people talking about it the morning after, and an enthusiasm for their audience that is unmatched, Bendricks are building momentum that shows no signs of slowing down.

Bendricks aren't chasing a sound that's already out there - they're making their own.
