Threatmantics

September 2011

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...

Heddwyn Davies on viola and singing
Andrew Rhys Lewis on guitar and singing
Gareth Middleton on bass
Huw Alun Davies on drums

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.

Two new tracks on C2 Tonight

Two tracks from our new album will be played for the first time on the Lisa Gwilym show tonight.

The show starts at 8pm and is part of C2, Radio Cymru's more alternative, music orientated series of programs.

Over the next few weeks we'll be releasing several more tracks over other radio shows in a long winded build up to the eventual release of said album.

Already out there is a track on this podcast by the boys from Elgoodo:
