Birds of Wales

Birds of Wales is an indie folk rock band based in Ontario.

History

Why does the lead singer of this band seem so entirely smug and into himself when the other band members seem so utterly bored with the music they're playing? Are they actually a band, or just some guys assembled to play predictable pop songs in an attempt to crack the radio market?

Birds of Wales have toured Europe five times with everyone from Xavier Rudd to Dragonette to The Sadies, had their video for "Cinderella" on full rotation on MuchMoreMusic, received extensive radio play across North America and the UK. Birds of Wales are headquartered out of Toronto, Canada, and inevitably spend most of their time on the road.

Tracks from Birds of Wales' first CD received significant airplay on Canadian commercial & college radio, and have been broadcast across North America on XM and Sirius Satellite Radio. Bow song, My Lady; in July was the most played song on "The Verge," XM's new music station, in June 2006. Birds of Wales has also earned the attention of fans in Europe, releasing their Fall of the 49 CD in the UK and Spain on Invisible Hands Music (Thomas Dolby, The JAM) following five successful European tours in 16 months time. The first single from this disc, Cinderella (Has Nothing on You), was featured on a compilation CD - 560,000 copies of which were distributed throughout Ireland earlier this year. The video for Cinderella also was on full rotation on MuchMoreMusic in Canada.

Birds of Wales are releasing their first full length album, Belgravia Hotel, on Sparks Music/Emi in Canada on April 13th, 2010. The first single off the record, is the song, Uninteresting.
