Los Campesinos! are a relatively unheard of Indie band from Cardiff, Wales. The seven pieced, mixed gender, indie crew combines together to make music that is unique, different and quirky.
With song titles such as “You! Me! Dancing!” and “We Throw Parties, You Throw Knifes” the band reveals it’s unconventional yet loveable sounds through their titles.
The ensemble of voices, instruments and lyrics mix together to make the perfect recipe for songs, yet the band have not headlined in the charts.
Today those joining the music industry struggle due to the fact that a constant influx of new sounds generates much competition. It takes a dedicated Indie lover to come across a completely different sound and a rare talent that will really survive and conquer competitors in the charts.
With acts such as Florence and the Machine and Cold War Kids many music lovers still have faith that the ‘good stuff’ will get sieved out from the bland.
I guess everything has it’s time and I can only hope that Los Campesinos’s loyal fan base will help increase the band’s success amongst Indie lovers across the world.
