Worldcub is piloted by the Hamer brothers Cynyr and Dion.

Previously under the name ‘CaStLeS’ they produce material from their home studio on the hills of Snowdonia. Their site-specific themed debut album was self-released at the tail end of 2016 and gained coverage on major platforms such as The Guardian and UNCUT Magazine.

The band also earned their debut performance slot on the BBC Introducing stage at Reading & Leeds Festival in 2016 and found success playing shows as part of the 'Horizons 12' scheme; which included a recording session at the historic 'Maida Vale Studios' in London.

The band’s releases have always been an eclectic amalgamation of sound, influenced by a wide-range of genres. Os Mutantes, Ennio Morricone and Django Django have been mentioned as comparisons.

" ...the end product never ceases to enchant and surprise – which is all you can ask, really. It is simultaneously gentle and powerful."
'New Band Of The Week' - THE GUARDIAN

"‘Foresteering’ is already a firm contender for single of the year, it is a piece of pop genius."
A MUSICAL PRIORITY

"Welsh psych rockers appeared at 2pm - and blew away all expectations."
BBC Introducing in West Yorkshire, Leeds Festival

"'PartDepart', a song of hypnotic layers, beautiful sounds and a real sense of space that is sadly lacking in so much modern music."
LISTEN WITH MONGER

"Welsh troupe try out acid-damaged psych on their lo-fi debut"
UNCUT Magazine, April 2017

"Three musicians, one static caravan and a 16-track portastudio. Mix together in the Snowdonian hills and stand back"
SHINDIG! Magazine, Issue 67

"They embrace influences from Super Fury Animals, Django Django and the Beach Boys to name but a few. In doing so, they create an engrossing swirling infusion of psychedelic rock, blues and mildly dancey grooves. Title track ‘PartDepart’, with its bubbling hypnotic layers, beautiful sounds, synth loops, enticing guitar riffs and seductive rhythmic groove, is essentially the band’s raison d’etre"
BARRYGRUFF Music Blog

"Do yourself a favour and find a peaceful spot to listen and discover this new band. It won’t be long until the Eryri landscape unravels before you."
Band Of The Week - GIGWISE

"Although it's still only early days in the band's fledgling career, the band’s potential is enormous."
