Los Campesinos!
Los
Campesinos! are a seven piece indie pop band from Cardiff, Wales, formed in
early 2006 at Cardiff University. Although the band formed in Wales, none of
its members are Welsh. They released their debut album, Hold on Now,
Youngster..., in February 2008 and followed this up by releasing a record
titled We Are Beautiful, We Are Doomed, in October that year. Whilst many
consider it to be an album due to its length, the band have always referred to
it as a 'record' or EEP (extended EP) for contractual and artistic reasons.
Their second official album, entitled Romance Is Boring, was released on 1
February 2010. Their fourth full-length release, Hello Sadness, was released on
14 November 2011. The band toured the US and UK extensively throughout 2012.
