VVOLVES
One of the most exciting new young bands to come out of Wales in a long time – VVOLVES (written with a double V pronounced WOLVES) with their mix of electro-garage noise and stand out vocals for all the right reasons have been kind enough to provide us with an insight in to them and their sound in an interview for wecantmixandwedontcare! Here’s what they had to say.
Who are you and where are you from?
We are Rhydian, Thomas, Rhys and Tomos. We come from different areas around Cardiff. Three of us are leaving school this year and Tomos is a 1st year art student in Cardiff.
Describe VVOLVES sound in three words:
Noisy electronic youth
Where does your band name originate from?
NO IDEA! We just picked a name and stuck with it. We were unsure about the double V at the start to make the 'W', but we ran with it.
The best and worst band you have ever been compared to?
We always hate being compared with Super Furry Animals, I mean they're a good band, but we just get put in that category because we're from Wales.
Tomos' voice has been compared to Morrissey's. The Smiths is a pretty fucking big one!
What’s next for VVOLVES?
We're in the studio the second week of July recording a new track which will be release on 7" (hopefully) under the Cardiff based label peski.
Finally, who would you choose to be an honorary member of VVOLVES for one night only? Tell us why and what would they do?
Ian Curtis. We'd sample his voice so we could use it forever, either that or we'd have bez to show us a bloody good time!
The band have also been very generous and supplied us with an excellent free download in the form of 'Birds In Berlin’ EP which you can get from their bandcamp site.
Head over to their myspace to check out more songs and live dates hopefully to be announced soon http://www.myspace.com/vvolves
