Taking influence from 70s/80s McCartney and DIY ‘Fantastic Man’, William Onyeabor, Worldcub produce material from their home studio on the hills of Eryri, splicing together elements of surf guitar music, kraut-rock grooves and hypnotic psych tinged Cymru vocal harmonies. Brothers Cynyr and Dion Hamer founded the band under the name ‘CaStLeS’, later 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’ having a steady presence on BBC 6 Music and BBC Radio Wales. The band also gained momentum live, earning their debut performance slot on the BBC Introducing stage at Reading & Leeds Festival, as well as notable performances at Liverpool Sound City, Liverpool Psych Fest and BreakOut West in Canada with FOCUS Wales.
