Joy Presents: Casual Smart
A quintet of school friends still firmly in their teens, newcomers casual smart are a shining new light to emerge from Cardiff’s burgeoning indie playground. A delicate blend of an endearing DIY ethos and impassioned post-rock, their music radiates a genuine, precious authenticity, each track a heartfelt record of youthful friendship and the tumult of young adulthood.
And merely two years into their existence, their list of achievements continues to grow. With two singles to the name, the band sold out their headline show at iconic Cardiff venue Clwb Ifor Bach earlier this year (250 Cap) and toured with Porridge Radio, following slots at Sŵn and Green Man festivals, shows with Man/Woman/Chainsaw, Flip Top Head, and early backing from keynote tastemakers DIY, CLASH, So Young Magazine, Rough Trade, Hard of Hearing, and BBC Radio 6 (Including a feature in the “Huw Are You” section of Huw Stephens Flagship Show).
casual smart is Peter Martin (Piano + Vox), Brooke Thomas (Guitar + Vox), Emily Beal (Guitar + Bass + Vox), Rowan Phillips (Saxophone), and Oliver Goddard (Drums).
