ST DAVID'S CROSS (INVERTED) BY BRYTHON SHAG

Bursting out of Blaenau Ffestiniog come Brython Shag, a punky four-piece named for a logo on a vintage t-shirt one of them owned. Apparently. Apocryphally.

Their debut, self-titled LP came out in Spring and while it has bypassed us until now, it's certainly making ears alight here. It's punk, it's funk, it's indie rock and we feature the only fully English language track off it here. The St David's Cross, for the uninitiated, is a yellow cross on black. Invert it and you get Bangor's Cob Records label where our protagonist is going to go with his weeks wage and splurge it on vinyl.

Summer job, selling ice cream In a kiosk full of wasps Got stung, I carry on Just to satisfy the boss Cos I know by the end of the week That pay pack’s gonna be ok Gonna head down the Cob St David’s Cross - Inverted Is gonna save my soul with sounds. Hitch a lift, back to the ghetto Blast the records, shake the walls Start a band, see the world Once I get that gold Les Paul Summer job, selling cold stuff Busy as can bee I do the grind, because I find It feeds my fervency Cause I know... Neighbours complain bout my vinyl black But the walls get denser with the records I stack
