Bivouac

Bivouac were a British alternative rock band formed in Wolverhampton in the early 1990s. Initially emerging from the shoegaze scene with their swirling, effects-laden sound, they quickly developed a more muscular, riff-driven style, incorporating elements of psychedelia and space rock. Known for their powerful live performances and the distinctive vocals of frontman Paul Yeadon, they built a dedicated following throughout the 90s. Tracks like "Slack" and "Tuber" showcased their ability to blend heavy, distorted guitars with melodic hooks, while EPs like "Marked and Tagged" hinted at their broader sonic explorations.

Though never achieving mainstream success, Bivouac became a fixture of the UK indie scene, touring extensively and releasing several critically acclaimed albums, including "Full Size Boy" and "The Bell Foundry." Their music often featured introspective lyrics and a sense of melancholic grandeur, creating a unique atmosphere that resonated with fans. Despite disbanding in the late 90s, their influence can still be heard in many contemporary alternative rock bands.
