Tickets are now available for BE N!CE at The Grace!
BE N!CE are a London-based punk band who have spent just over three years becoming one of the UK’s most compelling live acts — and they’re only getting started. Formed in late 2022, the four-piece have built their reputation show by show, driven by a DIY ethos, an anything-goes attitude, and music that balances absurdist humour with genuinely biting social commentary.
Their genre-bending debut EP WHERE AM I? announced them as a band with something to say and the charisma to make people listen. Loud Women called them “unbridled, vivacious 21st century punk”at the sold-out EP release show; ThePunkSite gave it five stars; RTE came calling. The record explores personal struggle, social injustice, and the sheer absurdity of modern life — and does it without ever taking itself too seriously.
Consisting of Pol Mills (vocals, they/them), Emily Harris (bass, she/her), Alex McIntosh (drums, he/him), and Brett Lee (guitar, he/him), BE N!CE have a chemistry that’s undeniable live. Over 80 shows across England, Germany, and Belgium have honed them into a tight, explosive unit — but one that still feels spontaneous and utterly alive on stage. They’ve been shortlisted for Kerrang’s 2025 The Deal and competed in No Sleep Til Hellfest 2024. In 2025 they played Loud Women Festival and Attitude Festival; in April 2026 they opened the main stage at Manchester Punk Festival to a crowd of 300-400 — the most high-profile set of their career to date. Rebellion Festival, Bearded Theory, Beware The Banshees in Utrecht, and more are still ahead of them this summer.
Now BE N!CE are stepping into a new chapter. New single GREEN BURIAL — the first taste of their forthcoming EP, due this September — is one of their most ambitious tracks to date: an eco-conscious punk riot with elements of nu-metal and alt-rock, built around a satirical and darkly funny premise. With a festival summer ahead, a UK and European tour in the pipeline, and an EP that promises to push their sound further than ever, they’re proving that the best is still to come.
