The Human Race

If there’s one blog it is acceptable to steal the ideas and featured bands from, it’s No Pain In Pop. They seem to be so ahead of everything that even if you don’t get around to posting essentially one of their posts as your own for almost a year, it doesn’t matter as nobody else will have caught on yet anyway.Indeed this is the case with The Human Race. I downloaded the two free tracks from No Pain In Pop in January and decided recently that it was about time I did some more ‘research’ on this band, only to find that HypeMachine still wasn’t riddled with adoring love letters to the band members. The description from the blog of the label releasing...

Swathes: More Stuff

The music made by Swathes is enjoyable. But it's also highly impressive. The instrumental noise of Swathes, reminiscent of much of the shoegaze scene of yesteryear; droningly swirling and bloating, is quite incredibly made by one man alone. I've almost seen Matt Webber, the man behind Swathes who is based in North Wales, live twice. The first time was at Cardiff Arts Institute (complete technology fail) and the second at 1234 Shoreditch (though at one of the festival's after-parties, not the festival itself, it transpired). Both times I was pretty annoyed, but pleasantly I can now sit here alone in this cold, bland bedroom of mine, shut my eyes,...

Three Free Things

Whilst I slave away at a dead-end job, the music world is busy doing its thing. Find below three free things (and four songs altogether) that have been widely written about many hours ago.Girls – HeartbreakerA fantastic freebie from San Francisco’s Girls, as they also announce details of six-song mini album Broken Dreams Club - which is to be released on 22nd November through Fantasytrashcan/Turnstile Music. Their 9/10 Pitchfork rated debut album Album will be tough to top, but I think Christopher Owens et al are well up for the challenge. I fancy their chances judging from this jangly loveliness, too. Grab it, in exchange for an email address,...

Yuck: New Song

We'll call this fashionably late, shall we? Those over at Transparent posted this over a fortnight ago, but I'll put it up here for those equally as behind as I am. Another wonderful track from Yuck, this time a sludgey and droney lo-fi masterpiece with heartfelt vocals which I adore, and it's one that I remember sticking out during their set at Latitude. I am very excited about their full-length.Rubber by Y...

Sŵn for Beginners (and foreigners): Saturday

Saturday is without doubt the busiest day of this year’s Sŵn festival. With live music lasting for almost 12 hours (11 hours, 45 minutes to be precise, if all runs on time) it’s difficult to find an excuse not to watch at least a few of the bands from the region, especially when there is such strength (and variety) to choose from. Prepare yourselves for an early start though. The above logo is in no way related to the festival, by the way. I'm a joker like that.One of the first Cardiff bands (but not the first; The Blackout’s Gavin Butler plays Clwb Ifor Bach at 1230 and Mclusky-influenced Exit International play across the road at Y Fuwch Goch...

Gruff Rhys: New Track - Free Download

Everybody's favourite Welshman Gruff Rhys has found the time, in between working with Gorillaz, making an album with a Brazilian TV repairman (true) and splitting up his band Super Furry Animals (not true) to record some new music under his own name.New track 'Shark Ridden Waters', which is sung in English unlike much of the tracks from solo record Candylion, still features the similar psych-pop sounds that we know and love from said solo album and his work with SFA, and Gruff is on top form with the vocal delivery. I've only owned it for 10 minutes but I already like it a lot, so there.Download 'Shark Ridden Waters', in return for an email address,...

HEALTH at Clwb Ifor Bach

There is no doubt in my mind that Swn and FLUX=RAD put on some of the very best gigs in Cardiff and do great things for the lives of music fans in this city. This gig lived up to their usual high standards.Saturday's Kids (much loved on here as any semi-regular reader will be all too overly aware) were only support. Their set got a mixed response from the Clwb Ifor Bach crowd. The majority seemed a little confused and taken aback, but those who enjoyed it seemed to really enjoy it - me included. They continue to adapt as a band, each gig gradually tighter than the last, and they also previewed a new track which suggested a whole new direction for them - more calm, more brooding, more pensive.HEALTH were incredibly, incredibly loud. About two songs in I was forced to go and pick myself up some...

My Train Journey To London

I decided that sitting down for 2 hours in the company of other First Great Western loyal customers was an opportunity to re-listen to some of the music I have stumbled upon on the internet presence of various blogs, labels and bands over the past few months. Yeah, I know, this is a really boring pretence (and an even less inventive title), but hopefully the writing below, highlighting some of my favourite listens during my journey through tunnels and past fields, may allow you to find a new band that you grow to love.Artist: Burnt OnesTrack: Bury Me In SmokeDownload: This track alone from their bandcamp here.California’s Burnt Ones opt for the...
