The Profile

Los Campesinos! are a Welsh indie pop/rock collective formed in Cardiff in 2006, known for exuberant, multi-voice arrangements, sharp hooks, and punky energy.

Formed in Cardiff in 2006; early lineup featured seven to eight members. Debut album Hold On Now, Youngster... was released in February 2008 on Wichita Records after the Sticking Fingers Into Sockets EP and support dates with Broken Social Scene. The EP was produced by David Newfeld. Romance Is Boring was recorded across the US and UK and features collaborations with Jamie Stewart, Zac Pennington, and Jherek Bischoff. Reviews highlight energetic indie pop, male/female vocal interplay, and irreverent songwriting.

Three reviews chart Los Campesinos!’ rise from the effervescent EP Sticking Fingers Into Sockets to the explosive debut Hold On Now, Youngster... and the more sprawling Romance Is Boring. The writers praise the band’s boisterous indie-pop, multi-voice interplay, and standout singles. There’s critique of overexuberance and scatter, but overall admiration for energy, melody, and invention.
