Cardiff three-piece (though originally from Chicago) We’re No Heroes are a great example of proving that you can write indie guitar music that people can dance to.
As a great fan of the genre in general, my main gripe about it is that bands and fans can get a little too serious about the music sometimes—you feel like shaking some of them and saying, “Guys we’re supposed to be having fun here.” Well, while physically shaking someone might be a step too far, a dose of We’re No Heroes’ double A-side single “Stay Weird” / “Voodoo” should do the same job.
A slick combination of funk-tinged guitars, a lively bass line, and dance-friendly drums (oh, and a generous helping of swagger)—Tom Collins (vocals and guitar), Luke Llewellyn (drums and vocals), and Michael Owen (bass and vocals) have produced two tracks that you can’t help but at least toe-tap to.
In addition, they’ve produced two witty videos for the tracks, with “Stay Weird” especially standing out as we delve into the world of food photography and a classic riches to rags—and back again—story.
“Stay Weird” is released digitally on 13th November 2015 via Spiral Icon. Double a-side single “Stay Weird” / “Voodoo” is released 27th November 2015 on vinyl.
