London based, Ipswich born four piece Ideals stop off for a headlining show at Cardiff’s Undertone on the 19th of January as part of their UK tour in support of their forthcoming new single ‘Significant Other’ released on the 21st of February through Intruder records. Their finest release to date ‘Significant Other’ is a sharp, melodic hook laden guitar anthem full of floor filling rhythms, swaying horn section and an insatiably arcing chorus provided by Ideals singer Andrew Major, it draws favourable comparisons with everyone from the Maccabees and The National to White Lies and The Cure.
Ideals have completed two UK tours in 2010 playing the length and breadth of these fair isles, playing support slots with both Pete Doherty and The Automatic along the way. In all, Ideals released four very well received singles in 2010.

Cardiff three piece We’re No Heroes open the show they formed trans-atlantically on a trip to Chicago in Summer 2009.Their funky blend of toe tapping math rock rhythms and communal indie singalongs has led to comparisons with Foals and Q without U.
Fast forward to the beginning of 2010 and WNH already with a dozen gigs under their belts and slowly climbing the local scene, still gigging despite exhaustively working on the 2nd EP which is rumoured to be titled ‘World & Walls’ the band are slowly becoming a rising force within the local Welsh music scene. As of Late 2010 they are in the early stages of finishing the follow-up with a handful of new songs under their belts which will all be exclusively performed live before anything is released. The band will continue to progress their on ‘Worlds & Walls’ which is slated for release in 2011, ultimately changing their sound for the better while still keeping the main sentiments intact.
