James & The Cold Gun Announce November 2026 UK Tour
James and the Cold Gun are a Cardiff-based rock outfit who have quickly become one of the most exciting bands on the modern rock scene. Described as “South Wales’ loudest group,” they’ve made a name for themselves with their high-energy, garage-punk sound that channels the rebellious spirit of ’90s alt rock, blending gritty guitars with infectious melodies and raw, unfiltered emotion.
Formed by James Joseph (guitar/vocals) and James Biss (lead guitar), the band’s journey began in a humble Cardiff garage that doubled as both rehearsal space and makeshift recording studio. The duo’s shared love of classic rock, punk, and grunge led them to create a sound that echoes influences like Foo Fighters, Queens of the Stone Age, and Stone Temple Pilots, while forging their own distinctive path in the process.
Their debut album, James and the Cold Gun, was released in 2023, and immediately garnered attention for its electrifying energy and gritty, no-frills sound. Singles like “Chewing Glass,” “Cheating on the Sun,” and “Something to Say” struck a chord with listeners, earning them a following in the UK and beyond. Their DIY approach to music was evident, with much of their debut recorded in that very garage, giving it an authenticity and rawness that connected deeply with fans.
