(roughly translating to 'the Peasants') formed in 2006 in Cardiff, Wales. The lineup includes Aleksandra (keyboard, horn), Ellen (bass), Gareth (glockenspiel), Harriet (violin, keyboard), Neil (guitar), Ollie (drums), and Tom (guitar), with all members sharing vocals and the last name of Campesinos!   [ read more ]

Rumours that a fresh-faced pop mega-beast was emerging from the highways and byways of Cardiff first began to surface early in the Summer of 2006. Los Campesinos! played their first gig in May at a Student Union club night. The band formed at Cardiff University where the members still study amid a blaze of enthusiasm, friendship, chance acquaintances, and the desire to craft damn good pop music. They were, from the outset, a happy union. Citing everything from Pavement, to Bright Eyes, The Cure, Silver Jews   [ read more ]

"When you play pass the parcel with human body parts/Somebody might get head, but someone will get hurt." Any debut EP that starts out with a couplet like that is immediately worth checking out, and Los Campesinos!' Sticking Fingers into Sockets more than lives up to its promise.

Every now and then the title of an album is a perfect embodiment of the music found within. Los Campesinos! are dead right calling their album Hold on Now, Youngster..., because from the first track on, the album is a thrilling madcap whirlwind of sound, words, and voices that by the end leaves you feeling like you've been engulfed in an indie pop-driven hurricane.
