ATTACK! ATTACK!
Formed at the beginning of last year in a rundown industrial estate on the outskirts of Cardiff, Attack! Attack! have already begun to make quite the impact on an unsuspecting UK scene.
Having cut their teeth in various South Wales based bands, including Dopamine, Adequate Seven, Midasuno and Pete’s Sake, the quartet that makes up the A!A! are no strangers to hard work, having released a plethora of CD’s between them and toured a handful of countries in the process.
Since the release of their self-titled debut album in November, the hard working band have already sold over 4,000 copies and counting, in addition to a successful supporting trek alongside Funeral For A Friend.
With an appearance at this years Reading Festival already under their belts and great support from the heavyweights of rock press and the DJ’s at BBC Radio 1, there’s certainly no doubting the initial blow of Attack! Attack!
As vocalist Neil Starr explains, “You and Me is about not seeing eye to eye with somebody. At first you don’t realize the issue and you think it’s something else like ignorance, but eventually you see that it’s just not going to work because you have different thoughts, ambitions and dreams.
‘Burning down’ and ‘No one gets out of here alive’ is a pretty brutal way of saying to the person in question, that you’ll do whatever it takes to achieve your goal.â€
Already a live favourite with the band’s ever expanding fanbase, ‘You and Me’ perfectly showcases the band’s upbeat, melodic and exciting live energy, and looks set to further elevate the organic rise of Attack! Attack!
