They’re not blood, they’re Cherry-Ade

One of my favourite bands at the moment – 7 piece (very) indie students from Wales. You can download a bunch of tracks from their website here: www.loscampesinos.com. Their new single is out very soon, here’s the vid for the previous one. You’ll hear this at the next 24 Hour for sure!
