They’ve been compelling movement in hitherto resistant bodies on Cardiff’s music scene for a couple of years, distilling Chic, Liquid Liquid, Friendly Fires, Jungle and a hundred luminous melodies into the headiest brew.

For reasons that aren’t yet public knowledge, this Cardiff-based trio formed in Chicago.

They have more in common with the DFA-inspired sounds of the early years of the millennium (The Rapture, Radio 4 et al) than they do with most of their contemporaries, and it’s invigorating to hear a band whose sound is aimed as much at the feet as it is at the heart and the brain.

Although dancefloor-focused, We’re No Heroes songs are songs, as opposed to chants. The lyrics detail the darker corners of life, giving their grooves a real gravitas.

We’re No Heroes have played alongside Peace, Public Service Broadcasting, Catfish and the Bottlemen and Future of the Left. They would not have been an easy band to follow onto the stage.
