Wales. The Green Country. Famous for Tom Jones, dragons and the king of place names in Llanfairwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch. The beautiful serene valleys have seen quite a change since the end of the 20th century as the music scene has turned from less Shirley Bassey and more rock n roll.
Kids In Glass Houses are one of the hottest acts to head for the bright lights in the footsteps of their fellow Welshmen enjoying recent superstardom, such as Funeral For A Friend, Lostprophets and The Sterophonics; all of whom have featured the band on tours since their blooming to life like a beautiful daffodil circa 2003.
They have created quite a great deal of fuss since springing up all that time ago. And quite rightly so. They successfully stand alone as one of the freshest and most uncliched 'feelgood' bands you could possibly treat your ears to. With their sound, they've concocted a perfect summer in musical format. There's the warm sunshine on tracks like 'Saturday', courtesy of their pop influences such as The Police and The Beach Boys. They've brought the British beef for the BBQ with the Blur and Pulp-inspired meatier rock sound like on new single 'Undercover Lover'. And they've brought the cheeky bouncy banter of some good old mates like The Movielife and Refused on 'Easy Tiger'.
It's a formula that's gone down a storm with fans, critics and fellow artists alike. The relentless touring showcasing the glorious voice of frontman Aled Phillips, the addictively catchy and chipper guitar riffs, all bound together by the perfect beat to dance to has really paid off. With this year's release of second full album, 'Dirt' keeping the momentum gathered by debut 'Smart Casual', Kids In Glass Houses have been able to make their biggest headlining tour to date split into two parts. The first part covered the UK in May and Part Two is on its way in November and is set to be a show grander and more spectacular than anything they have achieved before. The unbelievably good mood that can be soaked up watching this band makes for one of the most exhilarating gigs you could ever wish to see.
Kids In Glass Houses are playing Manchester Academy 1 on Friday 19th November. |
