Pretty Vicious

About the artist

This four-piece rock band, hailing from Merthyr Tydfil, Wales, specializes in raw, punk-infused, energetic rock & roll. Made up of vocalist/guitarist Brad Griffiths, guitarist Tom McCarthy, bass guitarist Jarvis Morgan, and drummer Elliot Jones, and opting for the standard old-school machine of two guitars, a bass, and a drum kit, the band has drawn comparisons to other British acts such as Kasabian, Royal Blood, Oasis, and the Arctic Monkeys. With sneering, overdriven guitar riffs, blistering drums, and ornery and indifferent vocals, their sound harked back to the incandescent guitar music of the '90s, melding the carefree lyrics of Brit-pop together with the bored, delinquent attitude of punk rock. ~ Rob Wacey
