Threatmantics

January 2012

Mindful they didn't want to spend their lives down the pits or herding sheep, Threatmantics went for the third Welsh cliche - singing. No one could have predicted it would turn out this way...

Bi-polar by nature, Threatmantics attempt to crowbar as much into rock and roll as possible. Veering wildly from heartbroken folk, to balls-out rock, to spine-crushing metal, to good-time pop; barely held together by very fine thread and pretty ribbons, they play music that sounds as much like the band they wish they were as possible.

Whether they will survive the pits and troughs remains to be seen, but it's a special thing to be able to soundtrack your own adventure.

Threatmantics released their debut Upbeat Love on Double Six in 2008, and are currently working on the follow up, to be released in 2010.

First Gig of the Year

Hi all,

Our first gig of 2012 is our first in a while outside the British isles.
We play L'International club, Paris on February 12th.

Having played there recently with TVEGC I'm really excited about returning with Threatmantics.
It's pretty much tailor made for us!

It's also free entry, so if anyone is over for the France/Ireland Six Nations game and want somewhere to party Sunday night, you know where to go!

Bon Voyage!

Heddwyn
