INTRODUCING…NINEPLANFAILED
nineplanfailed – an intriguing name, tell us how that came about… Our name is taken from one of the tracks on Adam and the Ants’ first album, ‘Dirk Wears White Sox’ (1979), and this is no accident. This album, and the period that its from (i.e. late 70’s / early 80’s) tends to inform a [...]
INTRODUCING…THE SEA
How did the band come about and what have you been doing over the past year or so? We started The Sea after our last band fell apart, we really were just jamming some new stuff together in our parents’ garage for pure enjoyment, and I guess when you don’t try too hard good things [...]
INTRODUCING…KELSEY CONROY
What’s your first musical memory? And the first song and artist/band you remember falling for? I’ve grown up in a pub so I’ve always fallen to sleep listening to the loud music from downstairs. Music has always been around me, I remember being very young and going to a festival in Cork, Ireland with my [...]
INTRODUCING…LOUISE GOLBEY
What was the first song you ever wrote and what was it about? The first song I ever wrote was called ‘If The Shoe Fits’. It’s about a guy I liked at the time. I have never done anything with it though as that was very early on and feel like I’ve developed my songwriting [...]
INTRODUCING…CRASH AND THE BANDICOOTS
Crash and the Bandicoots…that’s an old retro computer game right? Yes. ‘Crash Bandicoot’ is a Playstation game that we used to play…a lot. We’ve ingeniously adapted it into our band name. What was the thinking behind the name? We wanted a name that people would remember and tell their friends about, so even if they [...]
INTRODUCING…MLE
Only four of the tables in the room had people on it, unusually quiet for the time of evening as Wales and the Swans were both busy getting themselves victories in Rugby and Football respectively. Yet, what those four tables in that room heard and witnessed would probably be something they would not forget for [...]
INTRODUCING…PSYCHO KISS
There is something that shines through with a band that has been on the scene for a while. Their set becomes more refined and polished with their continual performances and rehearsals which can mean with certain bands they can only go from strength to strength. This is certainly true of Neath and Swansea based Psycho [...]
INTRODUCING…JUDGE TUXEDO
If someone asked you to define the word Rock, you could come up with all sorts of answers. You can go on about how the music has a certain kind of beat, how it is played with certain type of instruments or how it is more about the attitude of the bands and their fans. [...]
INTRODUCING…THE DALIZERS
Imagine a sunny day if you will, you are in your car with the windows down, a cool breeze washing across your face and your fingers tapping on the steering wheel as you take a road trip through some of the beautiful Welsh country side. But what would you have blasting out from your speakers [...]
INTRODUCING…STORM THE WALLS
Since forming in March 2007, metal mob Storm The Walls have spent their time wisely. Along with recording and releasing their debut EP ‘Versus’, the Swansea-based group have been perfecting their belligerent sound through their live shows, which have taken them all around the UK and seen them share stages with the likes of Your [...]
INTRODUCING…THE FUZZ
Whilst their influences might be fellow two-piece bands like The White Stripes and The Black Keys, The Fuzz frontman Lloyd Edwards insists that he and drummer Rhys Saunders offer a distinct and different sound. “I really think The Fuzz is unique, we stand out from these rock-based duos because we play indie and blues music,” [...]
