Iglu & Hartly fuse Beastie Boys-style rap, Red Hot Chilli Peppers funk and flamboyant 80s rock. The band’s second single, In This City, gatecrashed into the UK top 40 at No.5 and saw the band perform with great gusto on Jonathon Ross’ BBC1 show before releasing their debut album, & Then Boom.
There are two things guaranteed of Iglu & Hartly - their propensity for polarising opinion and their ability to put on a show. The Guardian probably summed them up by saying “on the one hand, it’s riotously good fun; on the other hand it’s a bit naff”. Make up your own mind by heading down to Cardiff Barfly this February.
