TV Smith & The Bored Teenagers is the electric live version of punk legend TV Smith's work, featuring his classic Adverts as well as solo material with a tight band. Renowned for their high-energy shows, dynamic stage presence and socio-political comment, they tour widely across Europe and the US. We're lucky to have them in Brighton for this night!
Spiky, melodic punk support comes from Brighton's own Fractured who take every aspect that was good about punk, transporting it to the here and now with vocal wit, sharp riffs and plenty of raw energy.

Tv smith founded, sang and wrote for the adverts, one of the first-wave british punk bands, and has been called the leading solo performer of the punk scene. The bored teenagers are his electric backing band, and together they replay the adverts catalogue alongside his later solo material. Their album 'replay the adverts' was cut in a single take the day after rebellion festival.

A brighton four-piece playing spiky, melodic punk with witty lyrics about the frustrations and anxieties of modern life. Their twelve-track album 'replastered' landed in october 2025, recorded at brighton electric studios. They launched it with a headline night at the hope & ruin.
