The Bends

The Bends are a rock band channeling early-2000s garage rock energy—often compared in live copy to the swagger of Kings of Leon and Red Hot Chili Peppers–era grit—built for club stages and growing U.S. headline runs. Ticketmaster and venue materials frame their sound as modern garage rock with hooks, volume, and road-ready sets; the project has been stacking national tour dates including Scoot Inn in Austin and Echo Lounge in Dallas.

Public lineup credits associated with the act have included Rory, Henri, Mazza, and Brian Tweedy in local Austin artist listings, while Instagram (@bends) pushes new singles such as “Seasons Change” with video drops and live clips (including acoustic sessions for stations like 101X). They sit in the rising indie-rock club circuit rather than heritage radio nostalgia.

Expect sweaty garage rock and tour-honed choruses when The Bends hit Texas rooms like Scoot Inn and Dallas rock halls on package and headline bills.
