HIMALAYAS’s second album BAD STAR is a record that sees the Cardiff quartet, formed in high school 10 years ago by Joe Williams (vocals/guitar), Mike Griffiths (guitar/vocals), Louis Heaps (bass) and James Goulbourn (drums), expanding far beyond the indie-rock of their first works. The band are on an unstoppable rise since the release of their debut album From Hell To Here back in 2023, achieving over 93 million streams and supporting the Foo Fighters at Cardiff’s Principality Stadium last summer.

Emotive, soulful, warm.

If you wanted to sum up Toby Sebastian's new album, this would be a good place to start. Eyes Light Up is an eleven track road trip through the various expressions of love, the jubilant, the sincere and the raw alike.
