White Noise Sound

Swanseas White Noise Sound are Dan Henley (Vocals & Synthesizers), Adam Tovey (Vocals, Guitar, Keys & Programming), Paul Griffiths (Guitar), Rhys Hicks (Guitar), Chris O'Keefe (Bass) and Phil Stanton (Drums).

White Noise Sound assembled in Swansea, Wales in 2006 and immediately made the conscious decision to shut themselves off from all around them in favour of conjuring their own particular wall of sound - at once relentlessly pulsating and blissed-out. Quickly the band began to incite label and media attention and their white-label demos started to receive airplay in the UK from the likes of Steve Lamacq and Bethan Elfyn at BBC Radio 1, Europe and the US.

After honing their craft across the UK and through Europe - where they have toured with the likes of The Warlocks, Spectrum, Mark Gardener (Ride) and the Super Furry Animals, and shared the stage with members of Spacemen 3, Spiritualized and the Brian Jones Town Massacre - the sextet completed their debut album in March 2010 with the help of Pete Kember (Spacemen 3 / Spectrum / E.A.R) and magician Cian Ciaran (Super Furry Animals). A month later, WNS signed to US label Alive Records - whose back-catalogue, amongst many others, includes releases from The Black Keys, Iggy Pop and James Willamson.

New single Sunset with the single set to be released on 08.08.2011, has recently received spot plays on Q Radio, 6Music plays from Cerys Matthews, Jen Long and made Record of the weekend by Nemone. The track has also received play on Absolute Radio and has been added to the Artrocker Radio Playlist.

The band's eponymous debut was officially released 21.09.10 (US) / 17.01.11 (UK) to widespread critical acclaim.
