“Better than the b**** that you’re with…”

Sal is the new Welsh band phenomenon – simple as that. A four-piece rock/punk outfit, they kick out with energetic, emotional and incredibly catchy songs that still retain a keen edge, forged in the valleys of South Wales.

The songs look at life, the words deal in dreams, and the music makes you care and not care, all at the same time.

Sal have worked extensively with producer Greg Haver (Manic Street Preachers, Catatonia, INME) to create a fresh, punky, infectious sound that’s steadily built up a fan base since they got together in 2001 - thanks to TV appearances, radio airplay, numerous demos, UK tours, festivals and sheer hard work.

Fronted by the gorgeous and ever-present Cat, with Noog on guitars, Kev on bass and Denley on drums, Sal have shared stages with the likes of Terris, Skindred, Reef, The Crockets, Dodgy, Kennedy Soundtrack, Fydolla Ho, Bad Manners and even the mighty Saxon!

The band have toured the UK and played many festivals around England and Wales, and have also had performances transmitted live on TV and Radio.

Sal have already released several demos to great responses from Radio and media alike. The band have enjoyed frequent coverage on many radio stations including BBC Radio Wales, Total Rock, Valley's Radio, BridgeFM and have been awarded single of the week status on numerous university radio stations. Plus their videos have been featured on TV shows such as HTV's 'Shotgun Slide Show, BBC TV's 'The Wrap', and the first series of the Pop Factory "The Fizz".

“The monkey army's now complete…”

This year has seen Sal in the studio again with Greg Haver to record their first album, which is due for release Autumn 2004. Provisionally titled ‘Dysfunctional, it will consist of 13 tracks, which highlight the power, depth and brilliance that is Sal.

Pre-releases have received rave reviews and frequent airplay on national radio.

Primed for the big time, are Sal the latest Welsh Phenomenon?

Only time will tell but what is certain, Sal are a refreshing rock/punk four-piece, full of energy, melody and emotion, who are destined for greater and bigger things.

“People tend to dismiss female-fronted rock bands”, says lead singer Cat. “We’re gonna make them eat their words.”
