WELSH ROCK ‘N’ ROLLERS WATERPISTOL ANNOUNCE NEW SINGLE “FELIN” OUT NOW
INDEPENDENT
Recently awarded BBC Horizons’ 2026 Launchpad Fund – in partnership with BBC Cymru Wales and Arts Council Wales – Waterpistol returns with their first release of 2026, “Felin”. Combining the guitar textures of ’90s shoegaze with golden age rock ‘n’ roll, South Wales-based psych-rock ‘n’ rollers Waterpistol have been firmly set on embodying their influences in The Brian Jonestown Massacre, The La’s and Liverpool cult favourites Shack with previous singles “Shotgun” – which received airplay across BBC 6 Music, BBC Radio Wales and Amazing Radio – and October 2024 single “Où est ton âme?” which saw the six-piece playlisted by DIY Magazine.
Formed in late 2022, the band played their first show together in April 2023 as support for CVC’s sold-out hometown show. Festival season followed in quick succession, and soon enough the band had several noteworthy appearances under their belt: FOCUS Wales, Green Man, Sŵn Festival, and In It Together Festival.
This new venture with “Felin” touches on the highs and lows of the creative process, the first glimpse of a wider collection of material already taking shape behind the scenes.
Waterpistol stands as Harry Watton (Vocals and Percussion), Rhea Padua (Vocals), Aaron Tormey (Guitar and Vocals), Carwyn Whiteman (Guitar and Vocals), Emma Way (Bass), and Efan Watkins (Drums)
