My dad died a year ago today. We miss him every single day. The grief has been supplanted by an enduring bittersweet melancholy, that rings with memories.

It's not so bad, but we all dearly wish he was still here.

Ava did a collage and I did a song.

Love you, dad x

Sorry about the telescope. Still.

'Til Darkness Dies

Skellums was formed because there was nothing else left to do.

Skellums DO NOT want to join the long list of bands who have success, but have nothing to say.

Skellums fell together through necessity, tired of the music industry, they set up their own record label, Rent & Debt Records, and decided to take on the world. 
One little venue at a time.

Underneath all the dirty guitars and pounding drums, there lives a pop song. Skellums believe, that as long as you have a decent melody, you can get away with all manner of noise.

Pop songs with dignity.

In a world where every band has the same barber, and shares the same River Island gift card, Skellums are a little different.

They may be a little rough around the edges, a little bit pissed off and a little bit scruffy, but they have something to say.

S K E L L U M S....they are coming.

The Immediate are a three-piece indie, power pop band from Mold in north Wales.

We release our Mold EP on Friday 3rd March 2017. The EP will be available to buy on limited edition CD and digitally via bandcamp / iTunes etc.

Mold features 4 brand new recordings, 3 of which are exclusive to the EP.

Lead track, What’s The Matter Kevin Jones?, is a song about some of the kids we went to the Alun School with, who weren’t as fortunate as us and didn’t make it into their 30’s. 

Light Dimensions is the first song we wrote when we reconvened after a long hiatus.

Manbuoy is the title track of our forthcoming debut album, however it does not feature on the album itself. It’s a mostly spoken-word piece that exaggerates all of its writer’s worst qualities.

Mold was recorded at Orange Sound Studios in Penmaenmawr, North Wales by Russ Hayes, who has worked on recordings by Peaness, Campfire Social, Kidsmoke, Catfish and the Bottlemen and Billy Bibby and the Wry Smiles.

The sleeve design was done by Paul Maurice from Wrexham. It’s a detail of Shire Hall, the brutalist former seat of Flintshire County Council that sits on a hill, above Mold town centre.

The Mold EP will be launched at a hometown gig at Theatr Clwyd, Mold on Friday, 3rd. March. We’ll be joined by our friends Campfire Social and Skellums. Tickets are £7 and available here:

There is a YouTube video telling the story of the band so far, here:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EtERsE3ihDg

We originally split in 1997 due to frustration, an argument over a mouth organ and the success of Stereophonics.

We released one single (unaccountably popular in Sweden), made every conceivable mistake in the How To Be A Successful Indie Band handbook, toured with some excellent bands (Mansun, 60ft Dolls, Dodgy) and flickered out, leaving behind the memory of some great gigs, a few fine songs, and little else.

In March 2016, we reconvened to repair friendships and renew tinnitus. New songs came much more easily than the old ones, probably because we are playing to please only ourselves - with no thoughts of success or acclaim - for the first time in our existence.

There is more truth and resonance in our songs now than ever before. And power. And invention. We write songs about hope and love in the face of the moribund, daily grind. 

You will possibly hear fragments and echoes of the following artists in our sound (The Jam, Wire, XTC, Pixies, Badfinger, REM, Dr Feelgood, Small Faces, Husker Du, The Who, Ride, Big Star, The Cure, Joy Formidable, The Go-Betweens, Teenage Fanclub), but nothing has been plagiarised or misappropriated to mask a deficiency of our own ideas.

The Mams are Jon Tregenna & Mike Gibson. The band formed in Llanelli, South Wales in 2006 and have released 4 albums - Wam Bam!, Rhondda St, Scraps and Locations - adopting a variety of musical genres from disco to pub rock to R'n'B. Various musicians have come and gone, but Jon and Mike regrouped to produce 3 singles for Spring 2020.

Dirty Kestrel and CRK SPDR are solo projects that emerged after the break up of No Sons.

A love of synths and house music together with formative years DJing and mixing haswd me to this point. Very much a starting point but with much to prove.

Electronica is my next chapter.
