Swansea Sound reunite Hue Williams and Amelia Fletcher, the original singers of cult 1990s UK indie band The Pooh Sticks. Quickly becoming a popular fixture on the UK indie scene, Swansea Sound have released two acclaimed albums (Live At the Rum Puncheon and Twentieth Century), and have recently recorded live sessions for 6Music (UK) and WFMU (US), as well as completing a tour of the US East Coast.
Described as ‘an indiepop miracle’ by All Music, Swansea Sound combine a witty, sardonic, very contemporary lyrical attack with timeless guitar-pop songwriting. Louder Than War declared them “An essential broadcast from the forefront of the indiepop resistance.” The band hail from Swansea (Wales) and Kent (England).
The single precedes a tour of West Coast USA in October and the UK in November/ December. The live experience is unmissable, with Hue and Amelia playing off each other, sometimes duetting, sometimes harmonizing, always entertaining. Meanwhile the band (Rob Pursey – also Heavenly, Bob Collins – The Dentists, Ian Button – Death In Vegas) kick up an infectious melodic racket.
