SOLD FOR PARTS ARE A THREE-PIECE, ALL- GRRRL PUNK BAND BASED IN SWANSEA.

THEIR DEBUT SINGLE ‘EYETRAP’, RELEASED IN SEPTEMBER OF 2025, IS A SONG WRITTEN ABOUT THEIR EXPERIENCES ALWAYS FEELING TRAPPED AND OBJECTIFIED BY MEN.

SINCE THEIR DEBUT GIG AT THE END OF 2024, THEY HAVE QUICKLY GROWN A LARGE AND LOUD FANBASE ACROSS SOUTH WALES, AND HAVE TOURED FROM CARMARTHEN TO BRISTOL!

THEIR GIGS ARE SAFE SPACES FOR WOMEN, WITH ALL-GIRL MOSH PITS AND SONGS SUCH AS 97% TO SCREAM OUT YOUR ANGER AGAINST THE MEN THAT OBJECTIFY WOMEN.

RECENTLY, THEY ALSO COMPETED IN THE BATTLE OF THE BANDS 2025, FINISHING AS A CLOSE RUNNER-UP!

WITH FLASHING LIGHTS, WHITE LACED OUTFITS, AND HOT SUNGLASSES, SOLD FOR PARTS ARE A MUST-SEE IN THE SCENE!

WRITTEN BY AMELIE THRELFALL Sold For Parts were eagerly invited to the stage whilst anticipation and excitement spread immediately throughout the crowd. Their powerful half an hour began with being introduced as a group, and the music soon followed - the bass guitar taking control within milliseconds and the crowd just after.

Out of nowhere, the audience began moving, whether that was a foot tap on the ground or a full headbanging moment, everyone was moving in some way, majorly expressing the impact that all three musicians carry.

The Down By Here stage was thriving; music blaring, people singing and the lighting set up perfectly for watching the show go ahead. Sold For Parts also amped up the crowd by talking about certain politicians, such as Nigel Farage, and how their work - or rather lack of, isn't good enough and that Welsh oppression isn't something to be ignored. The passion in the room was immense; loud, punk screams and a solid understanding of why they're here and who they're here to support.

Saffia, Queenie and Alicia absolutely killed that half an hour set, and continued to impress the audience the whole way - constantly making instrument swaps but still managing to keep everyone interested by asking the audience questions or even getting everyone to stomp together in time.

I absolutely adore their music, and find a lot of it also relates to my, aswell as a huge amount of other women's experiences in this world, such as perverse comments or being followed home. It's bands like these that actually encourage people to speak out, and remain confident despite their past struggles. That is why Sold For Parts are one of the best upcoming bands of South Wales yet! 7

@ SPLAT ATTACK

"I first discovered Sold For Parts back in September when I went to my first ever gig with one of my closest friends. They really wanted to see them and I took my camera, and it's the first gig I've ever taken photos of!" - Mike M

"I think what makes Sold For Parts unique is that the prominence for everything that they stand for is such a great testament to just how important it is that we stand up for ourselves and make our voices heard. I know that they write from their own personal experiences and it's important that they offer some kind of platform for others who have gone through similar things." - Callum Lewis

My 3 words that describe SFP are talented, confident and feminist!" - Fatima Leah

"My pre-SFP gig ritual is that I have a cup of tea and a Rich Tea biscuit. I sit down and look at the bands and I like to dress nice as well!" - Charlie Morgan (Flatcat)

"Sold For Parts have all of these amazing talents and they're able to showcase them and inspire other people! I've seen many younger people who are inspired by bands like them!" - Soffia Burt

"I really like the energy that Sold For Parts bring to their gigs and the connection that they build with their audience. It feels very personal and relateable for so many women. I think that it is important that women have someone that they can see themselves in, reflected in art." - Leo Heyes

"I think that independent bands are important to the scene because it helps to inspire young people to become bands and make music." - Penny Laine (Hairdye)

"A song that I think Sold For Parts should cover is Romantic by Mannequin Pussy." - Oli Young (Flatcat)
