It's always a nice treat to be able to share quality homegrown music. Especially so when I very rarely get a chance to. Being Welsh, living in Wales, the amount of music I post from around these parts is quite shameful to say the least. Looking to change all that though is Denim Shakes and their latest single The Guard. Set for release September 19th with a debut album to follow in October, the South Wales four-piece are set to make big waves as their cascading percussion meets head on with the band's surfy guitars and preppy stylistics. Here's no different either as its grungy vocals epitomise everything they're about filing nicely alongside their listed influences of The Vaccines, White Stripes and The Hives. Take a listen above.
