THE TATES

THE TATES from Carmarthen, Wales have re-emerged with a sense of purpose with a song that will redefine them as the torch-bearers of a new sound, a sound that ranges from The Libertines’ poetic raw energy to the death disco of early New Order and the fuzzed day-glow pop melodies of MGMT. It is testament to the band that with their unwavering beliefs they are in full control of their chosen genre - making the pop song their own. The band members are: Liam Fusco - main vocalist and guitar, Tom Ryan - guitar and vocals, Matthew Kilgariff - bass, Jac Robin - keys and Shaun Gwizdak - drums.

Energized by their summer tour in support of ‘Electric Girl’, a confident and inspired band returned to the studio in Cardiff to work with producer Steffan Pringle (Estrons, Himalayas and Future Of The Left) again producing ‘Water’ a brightly infectious new single which has been eagerly anticipated after the success of the band’s debut release. The song was supported by Huw Stephens, BBC Introducing and Radio 1 gaining amazing radio play listing as well as being A-listed on BBC Radio Wales. The Tates released their new single on the 1st of December, 2017 as a digital download through Libertino Records.

Lyrically ‘Water’ asks a poetic question exploring themes of nature over nurture, as Tom the guitarist explains: “Are the flaws that we share with our parents who we are, or have we learned from them? Are we free to be the people we want to be or are we trapped by our genetic makeup and our immediate environment and society?” 'THE TATES' build from the ground up, step by step until they can reach the stars that beckon them within the night sky.

Water - Exuberant dance-able pop with a dreamy yet bouncy beat. ' . . . . There must be something in the water 'cause the water's the same. Yeah! The water's the same. There must be something in the water 'cause the water's the same as the daughter. . . . .'
