About Me |
|
| A five piece synth-rock band from Pontypridd, South Wales. SaidMike have been together for a over 4 years constantly working hard playing gigs as much as possible. SaidMike played 2006's taste of chaos in the CIA, Cardiff, along with a tour of Wales and numerous support slots to acts such as Adequate Seven, Get Cape. Wear Cape. Fly, The Blackout, Fony, Brigade, Enter Shikari, Kids In Glass Houses and more.In 2007, an EP 'Stop The Clocks' has been released and is currently available from the E-Store. SaidMike have still been rockin' as often as possible and completed UK tours with Bristol's I|AM|THE|DOOR and fellow Welsh friends Kids In Glass Houses.2008 sees a digital release of 'Stop The clocks' currently available on iTunes and other major download sites. SaidMike plan to tour as much as their busy schedules allow them to in 2008 as well as writing new material for a possible upcoming full-length album. "...while some culprits have spent more time on haircuts than tunes, Pontypridd's Said Mike have diligently set about gathering a devoted following with a spikey sub-genre take that owes more to post-hardcore than bratty Blink-182-isms. Their originality-splashed, synth kissed combination of laser-accurate drums and stop-start guitars, topped with anthemic vocals, explains how they've previously graced the Cardiff International Arena stage and supported the likes of Hyped metal-ravers Enter Shikari. It might not be long before the five-piece scale such heights themselves..." (Metro, 11th July 2007) SaidMike have released a 3 track single. The CD feature's the tracks 'Heads Down, Check It Out !', 'The Alleyways' and 'Visions Of Me'. You can purchase the record for £2 at any of the SaidMike shows.Brand new EP 'Stop The Clocks' is now available featuring the tracks 'Mind Over Muscle', 'Stop The Clocks', 'Let Yourself Go', 'Heads Down, Check It Out!' and 'Sister Mary'. These are currently available from the E-Store, at SaidMike shows and now iTunes and other download sites.SaidMike exclusively record at SKWAD HQ.

Band Members: Tom - Vocals/Guitar Sam - Synth Dane - Drums Richard - Guitar Lloyd - Bass Influences: At The Drive-In Jimmy Eat World Incubus Biffy Clyro Sounds Like: "...'Stop The Clocks', a unique and hideously catchy, not to mention incredibly encouraging, collection of upbeat rock, proves that SaidMike are more than capable of standing alone. With unusually abrupt and unpredictable tempos...Stop The Clocks is an exceptional debut." Claire Higgins, Big Cheese Magazine, January 2008. "Mightily impressive debut from the Pontypridd Teenage sensations. The musicianship is incredible for a band so young, with epic drumming and huge Prince-style-synthesizers coming to the fore. Also thrown in to the mix are some daft punk-influenced vocoders, swathes of syncopated guitars and a bagful of immense beats. With songs this inventive, Said Mike are the most exciting find of 2007." James Hannam, The Fly Magazine, September 2007. Said Mike is a hard band to pigeonhole. They’re not self-pitying enough to be Emo, they’re too rocky to be Indie and far too good to be classed as Pop... “Stop the Clocks” is a very strong debut EP both musically and lyrically. Said Mike have a refreshing maturity in their lyrics that is becoming less common as the alternative music scene, with the exception of bands like Enter Shikari, becomes saturated by bands that personify the Topshop portrayal of what it means to be alternative. Laura Routledge, noizemakesenimies.co.uk, January 2008. "...SaidMike are among the least tall powerpop rockers in the world..." Steve Beebee, Kerrang! Magazine, February 2008.
