Himalayas - BAD STAR (2025) [Official Digital Download]

Ten years after their formation, HIMALAYAS’ success has been more of a slow-burn, but in the last couple of years, their well-deserved success has started to materialise. The Welsh rock outfit, comprising of members Joe Williams (lead vocals/guitar), Mike Griffiths (lead guitar/backing vocals), Louis Heaps (bass) and James Goulbourn (drums) has been described as having influences from garage rock, indie rock, grunge and blues, but Williams reckons with ‘BAD STAR’ they’re an ‘actual rock band’ and it’s ‘obvious that’s what [they] want to do’. He’s right. This is an album that takes it back to basics in terms of genre. They don’t hide behind the pretence of intricate synth keys or eight different layers of vocals (there is definitely a place and a time for that kind of thing, but it’s not this album). It’s just rock music. And it works.
