Hailing from the musical hotbed of New Jersey, Dads offer up the kind of twinkly, guitar-based emo thats nonchalance is its greatest asset. Comparing themselves to ÔÇ£the shitty movie you know is crap but put on to forget about everything else going wrong around youÔÇ£, their lo-fi stylings are perfectly suited to Le PubÔÇÖs sweaty, beery confines. Latest EP ÔÇÿPretty GoodÔÇÖ is much more than its title suggests, taking Dads in a newly bombastic direction ÔÇô much more anthemic and straightforward than last yearÔÇÖs brilliantly-titled ÔÇÿAmerican RadassÔÇÖ.

A Jealous Lovers Club show would be nothing without the cream of the crop of local talent to support, and this Saturday they offer up South Wales punk-rock crews The Modern Farewell and Masts, completing a lineup of punk-rock perfection thatÔÇÖs the perfect alternative to the rugby-fuelled chaos thatÔÇÖs sure to hit Cardiff once more.

Tickets are still available from the JLC MusicGlue.
