''A BRILLIANT AND INSPIRATIONAL RECORD......THIS IS WHAT MUSIC COULD AND SHOULD ASPIRE TO. TERRIS ARE A WAKE UP CALL'' NME This Newport, Wales-based quartet Poured scorn on other artists. Gavin Goodwin (vocals), Neil Dugmore (keyboards) Alun Bound (guitar), Owen Matthews (drums) , who formed the band in 1996. With disdain for the media and music contemporaries alike. The impassioned zeal of Goodwin launched the band into prominence with a New Musical Express cover, before they toured or recorded their first album. Goodmin's nervy performance style led to many comparisons. He speaks of music-making as a compulsion rather than a route to fame. Indeed, the rough intensity of the limited edition The Time Is Now EP and debut single ‘Cannibal Kids’ tapped the same energy as the punk and grunge movements. The media hype set impossible standards for their debut album, released in March 2001, although on tracks such as ‘White Gold Way’ and ‘Deliverance’ the band’s great potential shone through. RIP Our Brother Owen Matthews who sadly passed away earlier this year. https://soundcloud.com/nellus/03-searching-for-the-switches-live-at-the-cardiff-clwb-ifor-bach-05-10-2000
