Chroma have shared a new single called Bombs Away.
Built around the Pontypridd alt-rock trio's thunderous rhythm section, the fuzz-infused track features on their 2023 debut album, 'Ask For Angela', which was recently shortlisted for the Welsh Music Prize 2024. Vocalist Katie Hall said:
"Since I saw My Chemical Romance in Cardiff CIA as a 14-year-old kid, I’ve always wanted to write a song for teenage girls to mosh to. Bombs Away is that song. I love going to gigs and I feel like my time getting pushed around in the pit made me fall in love with heavier music.
"Bombs away at its core is a breakup song. It’s about that moment you begin to see the wood for the trees, with someone you’re seeing. It’s that moment you realise someone’s taken advantage of your kindness and you’re just fuming. Bombs Away is that anger and then moving on."
Following their support slot for Foo Fighters in the summer, Chroma will support Newport hip hop parody group Goldie Lookin' Chain on their autumn tour celebrating 20 years of their major label debut album, 'Greatest Hits'.
They'll also play Manchester's Beyond The Music festival on October 11, and Harleys in Aberystwyth the following day, as well a headline gig at Gullivers in Manchester on February 15. Tickets are on sale now.
Now in its 14th year, the Welsh Music Prize winner will be revealed at a ceremony presented by BBC Radio 1's Sian Eleri at the Wales Millennium Centre in Cardiff next Tuesday (October 8). The event will also feature live performances from a selection of shortlisted acts. Head here for details.
