A Welsh band that weathered label disputes while building a catalog of sharp, melodic rock songs.
For a quick sense of their sound, try 'Artbreaker II' or the earlier single 'Easy Tiger.' They're both good examples of how the band balanced melody with a harder edge.
They came out of Cardiff in 2004 with a sound that was both aggressive and tuneful, landing singles like 'Easy Tiger' from their debut 'Smart Casual.' Even after a public contract dispute with Warner Bros. in 2009, they kept writing and touring, putting out songs like 'Artbreaker II' and 'A God To Many Devils.' Their music holds up because it's direct and never lost its energy, even when the industry got complicated.
They formed in Cardiff and released 'Smart Casual' in 2008, which had 'Give Me What I Want' on it. After the Warner Bros. fallout, they signed elsewhere and kept going with albums like 'Dirt' and 'In Gold Blood,' touring on songs like 'Animals' and 'Annie May.'
