THE four-piece Denim Snakes, from Barry, will perform at this year’s Oxjam, Cardiff. Their rock ‘n’ roll sound bursting from their home’s ghost-town pleasure park can be heard at the event on Sunday, November 16.
The band formed in 2013 with frontman Russell Toomey on vocals and guitar, Tom Hall on drums, guitarist and backing vocals by Jake Ellis-Scott and bassist Mattise Clark.
The songs are laced with the strive for satisfaction present in all good rock music and have hooks that wrap around bones and get feet moving. With their live shows played in a frenzied fever song titles like “Making Money”, “Happiness” and “Sex”, the Denim Snakes are full of the classic rock spirit.
The band released their debut single ‘21’ in September 2013, with a boisterous music video to boot, the track is drenched in nostalgia and demonstrates the band’s love for a great melody.
March 2014 they released their second single ‘Party Hard’, a sweet shot of yearning punk, with a chorus that refuses to be forgotten.
On the September 19 they will release their new single, the blistering pop-punk anthem ‘The Guard’, which has already been played on BBC Radio Wales and Nation Radio. And on the October 11 Denim Snakes release their debut album, ‘Denim Snakes’.
