Worldcub return with new fuzzed out stomper ‘Exploding!’ first new material since 'Back to the Beginning' LP last year
Worldcub return with new fuzzed out stomper ‘Exploding!’
Worldcub have shared their first release of 2025. ‘Exploding!’ is’ their brand new single out on the 14th of March, it’s the first taste of the band’s new material following their Back To The Beginning album, released back in 2024.
'Exploding!’ is powered by stomping rhythm, its fuzzy guitars, proggy synth splashes, snappy melodies and ticking cowbells make it a refreshing response to the rising tide of negative news and doom scrolling. Dion from the group commented: “The track was inspired by a rehearsal we had, Cynyr explored a few riffs with a more fuzzy sound. The lyrics flowed from what was on the news that night, on the TV and on social media especially, the relentless tension that comes from having all of that in your pocket all the time and how some people can eventually become desensitised to it, which inspired the paradoxical nature of the track.”
Previous single releases from their 2024 ‘Back To The Beginning’ album which was warmly received, enjoying a steady presence on BBC 6 Music with continuous plays by presenter Deb Grant and positive praise from Shindig Magazine.
..'Back To The Beginning' is a fun and trippy affair, which merges North Walian psychedelia with Afrobeat and a Brian Wilson-esque understanding of layering and harmony..." SHINDIG! Magazine
Taking influence from 70s/80s Paul McCartney and DIY ‘Fantastic Man’ William Onyeabor, Worldcub produce material from their home studio on the hills of Eryri, splicing together elements of surf music, kraut-rock grooves and hypnotic psych-tinged Cymru vocal harmonies.
Brothers Cynyr and Dion Hamer founded the band under the name 'CaStLeS' before releasing their debut album, ‘Fforesteering’, which gained coverage on major platforms such as The Guardian and UNCUT Magazine. With help from Calvin Thomas on bass and Jasmine Roberts on guitar, the band released their follow-up album, 'Back To The Beginning' in 2024, its singles 'Grog', 'One Small Mistake' and title track 'Back To The Beginning' kept a steady presence on BBC 6 Music and BBC Radio Wales.
Worldcub also gained momentum live, with notable performances on stages such as the BBC Introducing stage at Reading & Leeds Festival, Liverpool Sound City, Liverpool Psych Fest, BreakOut West in Canada and main support to Public Service Broadcasting at FOCUS Wales
