They've had a big following locally for some time but they attracted a lot of attention in November 2008 at Swn Festival, Cardiff, where Radio 1's Bethan Elfyn became a fan.

She invited the band - Mark, Paul, Brad and Dave - to record a live session for her BBC Introducing show. And then in early 2009 they got the call to play at the Big Weekend.

If Wrexham seemed like the last place to find complex math-rock leanings, then that's because it is, making a group like Gallops! all the more special and exciting. Marrying drums, guitars, sequencers, keyboards and general 'noise' this four piece play techno-glitchy rock.- Swn Festival

The band went in to The Machine Room studios in Cardiff to record four tracks, Window FX, Crutches, Defbox and The Manatee. The music was also remixed for a special play on Bethan's show.

They also played a live session [26 April 2009] for Adam Walton on BBC Radio Wales who says: "Gallops are impossible to sum up in a soundbite. Their music is too fresh, compulsive and inventive. It's cyborg soul music."
