CHROMA is a bi-lingual, alt-rock band from Pontypridd. With support from Festival Republic and PRSF, CHROMA spent lockdown recording their debut album “Ask For Angela” which includes 8 never-heard-before tracks which establish the band’s future direction. The album will be released via Alcopop! Records in autumn 2023.
Influenced by the likes of Yeah Yeah Yeah’s and The Gossip, CHROMA have received radio support from BBC Radio 1, BBC 6 Music, Kerrang! Radio, Radio Wales and BBC Radio Cymru and ongoing support from BBC Introducing.
CHROMA have played festivals such as Reading & Leeds Festival, BBC Radio 1’s Biggest Weekend, FOCUS Wales and Festival Number 6 along with European festival appearances in Barcelona and Brittany. They've also played sold-out shows all over the UK with the likes of IDLES, Peace, VANT and Tigercub.
The band closed a successful (pre-pandemic) 2019, with a notable appearance at Maida Vale Studios, recording a live session for BBC Radio Wales which later got picked up by Radio 1 and played on air.
