We are
an unsigned original band from Wales UK. We have been in existence
for six years, but the current and strongest line-up is as
follows:
Myk
Williams: Vocals
Darran Davies -Guitars
Math Jenkins
:Guitars
Kev Lewis -Bass
Emyr Rees -Drums
The
style of music is hard to pigeon hole varying from acoustic rock to
hard rock with a little of funk thrown in for good measure.
Influences include The Black Crowes, Led Zep, Paul Weller, Train and
many more!
The
debut album Cats & Trumpets was a self financed C.D
featuring 11 original tracks, recorded and engineered by Tim Hamill
at Sonic One studios. The highlight of exposure for the album being
the track “Stop the World” which helped us win at Orange
county music awards 2002, California Last year brought a fresh
new EP ”Somewhere down the tracks” which has
received lots of positive feedback and the track One and One
ain’t three winning us our second award at OCMA. This
year it was nominated in the classic rock category.
On the
Internet Peoplesound.com have chosen some of our material for
promotion such as the music compilation distributed with the Millennium
Edition of Windows and also songs earmarked for advertising
and film music etc , which we are excited about! We have been in the
top ten of unsigned artists on peoplesound and featured on PC world
magazine cd rom which has a circulation 20,000+.
The band
has had airplay on radio and a video made featuring one of the
tracks which has been played on T.V. The debut album “Cats &
Trumpets” is selling well with plenty of positive feedback. The
Swansea based radio station “The Wave 96.4 fm” has selected one
of our tracks for two of their compilation albums “Waveband one
& three” which features some of the best unsigned bands in
South Wales. Recently a radio station based outside Amsterdam has
been playing a selection of our songs.
Even
though we are proud of the recorded work and interest on the net,
the band are mainly about playing live and have well over one
hundred and fifty gigs under their belt as Flood, with individual
members having played many more. This included playing a short
promotional tour in California. We have played the Kashmir Klub in
London a venue which is earning respect as the place to be to see
unsigned artists and is often a haunt for famous musicians, one
performance went out live via the internet. Catatonia’s drummer
Aled Richards has guested for us, playing The Coal Exchange in
Cardiff on the same bill as The Super Furry Animals.
