Thank you for joining our mailing list.
The UK’s first & only emo band, Los Campesinos! have become one of the most
important and influential cult acts in the country since they formed in the
mid-2000s. Starting out in the Cardiff indie scene and soundtracking
Budweiser adverts, the seven-piece’s musical evolution since then has been
slow, steady and remarkable. From the frenzied chaos of debut album *Hold
On Now, Youngster…* (2008) through 2010 breakthrough *Romance is Boring* and
the self-mythologising of latter day highlights *NO BLUES* (2013) and *Sick
Scenes* (2017), their discography is an interconnected web of niche
references, big swings and unflinching honesty.
Making self-professed sleeper hits for weeping dipshits, they’re as
influenced by The Beautiful South as they are US emo, with emotional
intensity and connection always at the core. Their lyrics are a treasure
trove of football references, tales of romantic woe and painfully frank
exorcisms, which have been tattooed across hundreds of fans’ bodies and
served as comfort and insight during *that* break-up you had (there’s a
reason the band’s tagline is “your ex-girlfriend’s favourite band”).
Live, they have developed a reputation as a progressive and
forward-thinking band, leading the way in accessibility, transparency and
affordability in an era when all the above are far too rare, all while
playing their biggest gigs to date. With album seven on the way, Los Camp!
approach their third decade as a band more brilliant, more potent and more
vital than ever.
