We are also trying to help them get to the next step in the music industry, we believe that they have huge portential, so keep a look out for this band, here is their biography;

Mondays Headline are four 24 year olds from Swansea. Front man Matt Turner and guitarist Kristian Tabram formed a band along with friends they made at University in the late 00's. After finishing uni, Matthew and Kristian moved back to Swansea. After a brief hiatus for the band they recruited long time friend Nick Richards on the bass and this is when the band became known as Monday's Headline. The band began writing new material and touring Swansea for about a year before their original drummer left. Tom Waters joined shortly after to complete the line up and took up duties on drums. From here the band recorded their first self titled EP in early 2012. The album was recorded and produced by Romesh Dodangoda at his Long Wave Studio in Cardiff. The E.P is available to listen to on the band's official website www.mondaysheadline.com, iTunes, Spotify and Amazon.
