The spiritual beginnings of Right Hand Left Hand occured when both members heard Trans Am for the first time in a dingy club in Groningen. While both members feature heavily in a number of Cardiff based bands, RHLH is the opportunity to break out on their own, experimenting with loops, random instrument swaps and attempting to find out how heavy is too heavy...
Local Sports Team are a hard working rock band, heading for the top.
The melodic, thumping, and occasionally eccentric timbre of Cardiff's Draw me Stories is the musical invention of three chaps: Carl Hodgetts sings songs about all sorts, Mathieu Albasser plays bass and tickles the glockenspiel, and Samuel Souter hits all things that emit tasty ‘booms’ or ‘tings’ (these may include drums, spoons or plant pots). The story began for our three troubadours at Cardiff University.

Dementio13 is a Cardiff-based producer/remixer; recording solo since 1999. His music is a curious mix of Krautrock-influenced drones, experimental electro, film soundtracks, post-rock, drum n bass and psychedelia.

He has also been involved in collaborative projects with the international duo Cwtch, the music collective, Sal Boca and his other solo project Diebenkorn.

There is at least two bands with the name Sicknote:
1.
"Something freaky is festering in the back streets of Cardiff, something strange that has not yet been classified by science or the NME. The world at large has yet to hear about it, but those that frequent the underworld are aware that it is growing at a pace that will make it unstoppable once it breaks out. Like a hospital super bug it is highly contagious and those that have been in contact with it have been sent into uncontrollable bouts of dancing and been compelled to phone in sick the next day...
