It was great to catch up with Andrea and Matt from Welsh indie-pop legends The Darling Buds today.
It’s been SIX years since I last caught up with them, at a very wet Indietracks – but since then the band have been releasing occasional singles and played gigs and festivals too.
The band have just contributed to A Carnival of Sorts: An R.E.M. covers compilation, released by Cardiff website God Is In The TV Zine in aid of Help Musicians – and have released a brand new song of their own in the excellent Jump In – part of the X-Ray Flex EP from R*E*P*E*A*T Records – so there’s lots going on with the band. And if you listen to the interview, you’ll find out what!
