The Bristles has been played on NTS in shows including Louise Chen , featured first on 1 November 2022. Songs played include Not The One.

The Bristles were an early 80's hardcore punk band from Landskrona, Sweden. Their name was taken from GBH´s "Leather, Bristles, Studs and Acne". Singer Wiking was kicked due to different view on things (some say he had strong rightwing tendencies and a real communist hate) and Puma, who had earlier played in Black Uniforms, took the mic. Played about 75 gigs during the three years they existed.

Had a reunion in 1986 and changed name to Bristles D.C and recorded an EP, but the spirits where gone and the band died.
