All of this within the space of about a year Wrexham based band Gallops have been featured on the NME, played the massive BBC Radio 1 Big Weekend, had live sessions on BBC Radio 1, been track listed on the Huw Stephen’s compilation album, played Cardiff’s Swn Festival and toured the UK with Born Ruffian’s.
And now it gets even better – they are about to embark on a weeklong European tour. At the end of August Gallops will be joining Leicester band and buddies Minnaars on their jaunt around France and Germany where they will be taking in Lyon, Paderborn, Berlin, Gorlitz and Geldern.
Its classic timing, as the tour will have them toned up to a fine form for when they record their debut EP in Cardiff with Llion Robertson during September.
