Swansea To Hornsey

Trampolene were formed in 2014 in the green, green grass of Swansea, South Wales, by handsome local enigma Jack Jones (musician_and_poet), the self styled ‘dole-queue Dylan Thomas’, who met drummer Wayne and bassist Rob when they tried to bum a fag off him outside a chip shop in Fforestfach. They converted Jack’s mother’s coalshed into a rehearsal studio and soundproofed it with a couple of hundred polystyrene egg trays they blagged from the local Spar. Following the swathe cut by Welsh heroes The Manic Street Preachers and Super Furry Animals Trampolene have composed a clutch of extraordinary songs that speak of the ordinary existential struggle of a stony broke dreamer armed only with a loud guitar and an overdue library book.
