The Method launch their much anticipated debut album ‘Dissidents & Dancers’ with a little help from label friends Houdini Dax as well as a whole host of DJs from Cardiff’s longest-running club nights: Cafe A Go Go & Fabulous at the Globe in Roath, Cardiff.
Full price tickets (£7) include a copy of the album on the night.
Entry only tickets available for £4
Here’s some things people have been saying about the singles ‘Whip Around’ & ‘We Don’t Know’:
“Cardiff quintet The Method have dosed their recording with Happy Feet pills, bringing ska-styled horn trappings to bear on slashing guitars, a catchy chorus, and throaty vocals from Richie Hayes. Guaranteed to work up a sweat just listening to it. The flip opens with a stalking surf guitar riff and Richie’s Julian Cope meets Billy Idol snarl before wailing horns and a pounding backbeat threaten to knock the needle off the turntable. Heavy stuff with a bit of a punky garage pedigree. A new single is due shortly and if it’s as exciting as this, the album should be a killer. More proof that Cardiff is an exciting place for music these days.”
Jeff Penczak, Shindig! Magazine
“‘A fiercesome live band whose musical DNA can be traced through a heritage of punk, soul, ska, R’n’B and reggae, this thrill-seeking outfit proved they were no retro throwbacks with averitable rip-snorter of a debut single. Whip Around pulsated with youthful urgency’

“A mix of northern soul, 60’s funk and mod. They’re fantastic!”
Matt Johnson, ITV
“The Method’s dance crazed enthusiasm and refusal to treat their influences with overt reverence gives them the air of true originals, and they’re an actual pop group into the bargain.”
Tasty Fanzine
“Lead singer Rich and his cronies play fantastically energetic, ear-throbbingly good music with a menacing stage presence. Combined with the roaring riffs and synth-infused melodies, The Method demand body movement and active audience participation.”
Caught In the Crossfire
“The Method, have a new convert! Please, please check them out… They have a 60s garage-rock, psychedelic influenced sound, with some danceable soul beats. Like The Coral and The Zutons (only edgier)!”
