The most ferocious sound in indie right now, Welsh band Estrons, have premiered their latest track 'Make A Man' with Gigwise. Check it out below - you'll love it.
In Welsh, Estrons means 'aliens' - which is fitting since this new track from the quartet is out of this world (sorry, not sorry). The band formed guided by the philosophy that they needed to detach from the particular music scene they were situated in, and it shows. 'Make A Man' hits harder than anything we've heard in the last few months.
"It’s the story of a heterosexual female’s battle between desiring a man, whilst simultaneously finding herself having little respect for his self-important ego and misogynistic attitude towards women", explains frontwoman Taliesyn Källström.
'Make A Man' is a rollicking slice of punk with visceral guitars that don't let up even for a second. The drums are sparsely produced, embedding the track with a tectonic urgency that the compliments the raw call-and-response panning of Källström's voice.
Estrons write songs that revolve around the topics of dominance, belonging and self doubt. They're a band that truly capture the political-punk Riot Grrrl spirit with the vigour that will inspire generations of bands in the future, driven by the same ideals and passion for making incredible music.

Last year, singer Taliesyn gave birth to her son Björn and toured Wales within a month of his birth. The band’s video for ‘Aliens’ whipped up a bit of attention, as it features Taliesyn breast feeding. It's a statement-making video that showcases the band's ability to deal with all subject matter without batting an eye and with humourous defiance.
The band have already toured extensively and made for a name for themselves all around the country, gaining support from Radio 1, Radio Wales and now, Gigwise.
