“incredibly edgy and at times dissonant, with hypnotic and powerful sounds that blend the force of guitars with the sharpness of synthesizers, and a processed vocal performance that resembles the crackling and background noise of old television screens.” - Elxar Productions

Danswell & The Symptoms

“Really puts the alternative in alternative” - Radio Wigwam

Danswell & The Symptoms is an alternative, experimental punk “band” from Cardiff. The band has only had one member since its start. 

Dan Tanswell (They/Them) is 40 years old hailing from north wales. They have lived in Cardiff for over ten years. 

The band's music has been described as "raw and raucous", with Tanswell's “captivating vocals” and a sound that is "distorted, fuzzed up and noisy". 

Their second album, Figure 40 is released in August 2024.
