Baby Brave and the Love Bites Newydd


Wrexham's Baby Brave and the Love Bites have got a new record out! A charming,10-legged assault of dance moves and button bright indie pop. It's being released by Drum With out Hands and it's ace.
Assault is perhaps too strong a word, any band that plays pat-a-cake during instrumental breaks would always be more inclined to gently stroke your face than punch it.
Baby Brave are Wrexham’s Emily and Jo, backed by a three-strong set of Love Bites – Sian (bass), Steve (guitar) and Mikey (drums). The group came together in July 2010 after working on other musical ventures in the past. They create a sunny blend of Francophile folk pop. Although there are a lot of attributes you could describe as twee (flute solos, a ukulele named Fiona) there is enough going on for them to transcend any label or accusation of being kitsch.
An awesome antidote to this terrible weather, right? Buy it.
