Himalayas

Cardiff’s HIMALAYAS' story began when teenagers Joe Williams (lead vocals/guitar) and Mike Griffiths (lead guitar/vocals) started performing in small venues around Wales, and soon captured the attention of hungry fans and music industry tastemakers alike. Later joined by drummer James Goulbourn and completed by Louis Heaps on bass. Sharing a mutual love of Queens Of The Stone Age, Muse, Royal Blood and Iggy Pop, HIMALAYAS quickly honed their unique blend of dark, cinematic fast-paced rock featuring barbed wire riffs and snarling vocals. The four-piece has been touring consistently, playing key festivals including SXSW, Mad Cool and Reading & Leeds along with high-profile supports with the likes of Stereophonics and Manic Street Preachers. Newly signed to Nettwerk Records, their highly anticipated debut album, ‘From Hell To Here’ is released in May 2023, it was recorded in Wales with Steffan Pringle and mixed in LA by Grammy Award-winning producer, Dave Sardy (Royal Blood, Josh Homme, Rage Against The Machine). Early singles from the album have picked up enthusiastic support across radio and press and reactions at all their live shows have been incredible, with Louder Than War predicting, “...this is the sound that will fill stadiums.” HIMALAYAS have put everything into making their debut album and they’re only just getting started.
