The new single from Columbia is a long-awaited welcome return for the Cardiff-based group with their latest offering ‘Disorder’. The band have been keeping this track under wraps for a long while since they released their debut album ‘Embrace The Chaos’ in March of this year, and are brimming with excitement about sharing this new song with the world.
‘Disorder’ marks a new musical direction for Columbia, who are set to embark on their biggest festival performance to date next month at Shiiine On Weekender on November 12th, sharing the Minehead Arena with greats The Happy Mondays, Tim Burgess, Teenage Fanclub, Ash, and many more.
‘Disorder’ is the first single penned by lead guitarist Ben Rowlands, who is currently relishing exploring his talents by contributing to the band’s impressive catalogue of music in an expanded new role as songwriter. And what a song this is. Rock royalty Liam Gallagher better sit up and pay attention, that’s all we can say!
‘Disorder’ is a gritty, powerful song that rises from the darkness of the underground, grabs you by the scruff of the neck and refuses to let go. Coursing with unmistakably malevolent and sinister energy a’la The Cure’s ‘Pornography’ era , with swirling, driving guitars, paired with the impassioned vocals from lead singer Craig Lewis, ‘Disorder’ unleashes an incredible and unforgettable wall of sound that makes you wonder where on earth Ben has been hiding this behind his calm and quiet demeanour, as well as making you wonder where on earth has this song been all your life?
Embrace the chaos indeed, ‘Disorder’ has hit the streets and is causing havoc.

‘Y Nos’ is the phenomenal and atmospheric new album by ‘Woodooman’, Cardiff resident and Multi-Instrumentalist and Artist, Iwan Ap Huw Morgan.

‘Y Nos’ is a collection of tracks encapsulated the from ‘fire to ice’ landscape of Morgan’s newest creative offerings, delving into a darker psychedelic world of experimental, underground, stoner-punk.
Intense, atmospheric and tribal in instances; ‘Y Nos’ is an uplifting and haunting experience that is filled with elements of Woodooman’s mystical roots. ‘Morgan’s’ visceral vocals really are striking and stunning, dedicated Influences like the late great Mark Lanegan and Nick Cave really emerge to the surface.
