2. Bandicoot
Sticking to their roots, this bilingual band are reclaiming Dylan Thomas’ poetry, embodying Swansea in their bluesy post-punk anthems. With a raucous reputation for delivering electrically charged shows, their live events later in the year are going to be unmissable. Look out for their new single next Friday, ‘Dark Too Long’, on their label Libertino. The release is set to be a glam-punk take on Swansea’s post-industrial blues—a massively relevant track reflecting lockdown depression.
