Using both music and activism to fight against the economic struggles facing their hometown of Bradford, Drella combine politicised lyrics with gritty guitar riffs, catchy bass lines and thunderous drums to deliver their brand of politically charged alternative rock.

Recently championed by Tom Robinson on BBC 6 Music who called them “an incendiary new band”, as well as Alyx Holcombe on BBC Radio 1 who said “they make me want to mosh!”, Drella’s brave and unapologetic punk songs continue to earn praise from across the music industry.

Alongside press features in Clash Magazine and Louder Than War, 2023 also saw the Bradford trio embark on their first ever UK tour and receive support from Music:Leeds’ Launchpad programme, earning them a slot at Live At Leeds Festival. This momentum has continued into 2024 with a second UK tour on the horizon, including an appearance at Manchester’s Beyond the Music Festival and a support slot for Australian rock band DZ Deathrays.

With a catalogue of catchy new protest songs recorded and ready for release, Drella will continue to make an exciting contribution to the alternative music scene over the next few years.

Criada em 1996, A Súcia é um movimento poético que já englobou bandas como a Narcótica Orquestra, A Ilha, Zirrê, 7macabra, Elepê e a poesia de rua. Em 2003, com parceria da UNESCO, ocorreu o evento poético A Súcia, que ao longo de 20 semanas e presença de poetas como Negro Léo, Athos Luiz, Eduardo DÁvila, João O Vazio, Rosemeri Santos Silva, Naaman, Alberto Carraz, Miguel Parente, Luiz Fernando Gabão e Filipe Carvalho, determinou as bases da vanguarda carioca na modernidade líquida. Em 2006, lançou seu álbum duplo homônimo e sua concepção é baseada em ser teatral, visceral e orgástica. O álbum contou com a participação da saudosa poeta Marcella Martins Leite. O estilo musical é experimental, psicodelia samba-funk, A Súcia ainda flerta com a mpb, o jazz, o rock e ritmos nordestinos. Deus e o Diabo na Terra do Sol! O movimento é inspirado na exposição de Hélio Oiticica Cosmococa.
