Formed in Cardiff in 2006, Los Campesinos! signed to Wichita later the same year, after their demos and early gigs created a considerable buzz. Following a number of single releases, the band released their debut album ‘Hold On Now, Youngster…’ in February 2008, wasting no time with the follow-up, ‘We Are Beautiful, We Are Doomed’, which came out in October the same year.

A friend and I run a kind of club night in Cardiff where we just play American indie rock and post-hardcore and stuff that people generally don’t want to hear on a night out. I think most of my choices came from that…”
