Have you wondered where all the good old-fashioned British rock and roll bands have gone? If so, fear not because we think we’ve stumbled across a rather good one indeed—please welcome, The Cradles.
The Cradles are five boys from Wales searching for their dream date with their latest single “Ideal Girl.” The track kicks off with a smart surf-rock riff before falling into a classic indie rock sound filled with tumbling drums and lead singer Joe Norman’s colloquial vocal style taking centre stage.
Having formed at school in 2012, the boys immediately started to make a name for themselves on the Welsh music scene and are hoping the rest of the world will similarly follow suit.
Band members Joe Norman (vocals), Kieran O’Brien (guitar), Luke Haines (bass), and brothers Toby Andrews (guitar) and Declan Andrews (drums) have been praised for their live performances in particular and have already supported Pretty Vicious and The Bodicas—and with comparisons having been made to such artists as Arctic Monkeys, The Coral, and The Libertines, we think its pretty safe to say that these guys aren’t going anywhere.
“Ideal Girl” is in stores on March 25, 2016 via Solva Records.
