Swansea alternative rock outfit Strange Company are still in their formative stage as an outfit, but have sound that more than packs a punch and immediately establishes them as an outfit to keep a close eye on. The emerging band only have three releases to their name to date, but the uniqueness and dynamism of their sound is apparent from the second that you hear them.

One of these tracks is ‘Hivemind’, an energetic and fast-paced offering that immediately showcases the distinctive charm that the outfit and their sound possess, echoing the charismatic uniqueness of artists like Chiodos but with a more contemporary, modern approach. The track’s effortlessly memorable melodies and deft amalgamation of the heavy and the more nuanced makes for an engaging listen, and hints that the outfit have the potential to spread like wildfire when more people are exposed to their sound.
