𝙈𝙄𝘿𝘿𝙄𝙉𝙂
Blending shoegaze, indie-rock and sprawling walls of sound, Midding have quickly become one of the most exciting new bands to emerge from Wales🔥

Through the release of two EPs on Tough Love Records, Midding have established a sound that feels both familiar and entirely their own. Championed by BBC 6 Music and with many stand-out festival performances, the ‘ones to watch’ blend lo-fi tape saturation, fuzz-soaked guitars and melodic vocals, balancing noise and atmosphere with catchy pop sensibilities.

Catch them in Abertawe in September!
