Sheffield's Screaming Maldini had a busy 2013, culminating in a performance in London's Hyde Park as part of BBC Radio 2's Festival in a Day, where they were described as "Innovative, ingenious and unmissable”. It was a year which saw them release their eponymous debut album to rave reviews (see below), complete their first full UK tour, and witness two singles form the soundtrack to some seriously awkward moments on Channel 4's Made in Chelsea.

“wondrous nuggets of pop-genius...an enchanting, breath-taking journey“ - 9/10 Exposed Magazine

"phenomenal" - Drowned in Sound
“a wonderfully ambitious record...one of the catchiest albums you will hear all year“ - 8/10 The 405
"the poppiest, most energetic sound, overflowing with beautiful yet hyper melodies” - The Guardian

The video for Summer, Somewhere has clocked up over 35,000 YouTube views, and a further 40,00 as the soundtrack to the 2013 Sheffield Adventure Film Festival trailer.

The band kicked off 2014 in style as the Japanese release of their album (via P-Vine records) soared to number 3 in the Japanese iTunes alternative album chart (alongside Arctic Monkeys and Vampire Weekend) and two songs (The Awakening and The Extraordinary) spent weeks in the Tokyo Hot 100. This was followed up by a jam packed ten day tour (shows, radio features, street gigs, photographs and general madness) to an overwhelmingly excited Japanese audience. 

Never content to stand still, throughout 2014 Screaming Maldini will be releasing one track per month in their latest project, #monthlymaldinixii. The first three tracks, Soweto, Bearings and Abyssinia can be downloaded from screamingmaldini.net. Look out for the next release and download free in May!
