The Weapons' story starts in the sleepy seaside town of Penarth in Wales, where brother/sister rappers JG and Georgia G grew up. After relocating to London with the band they unleashed their debut single ‘Terrorist Youth' to critical acclaim in September 2004. “Welsh punk politicos unleash a hugely promising debut single” declared Kerrang! Before the end of the year W.O.M.B had already played across Radio 1, on the evening sessions of Zane Lowe, Steve Lamacq and Beth & Huw and had toured as part of the Radio 1 ‘In New Music We Trust' tour. Weapons are currently in the studio recording their debut (as yet unsigned) album due for release summer 2005. Tour dates for April/March will be announced shortly.

There's already a buzz around Weapons Of Mass Belief, tune yourself in and you'll hear them being given props by Zane Lowe, Steve Lamacq and Ian Camfield. Next stop? Surely signatures on dotted lines, for though this is the sound of nothing new, it's the sound of it being done exceptionally well. In equal parts it's the bombast of Muse, the riot-in-your-trousers of the much missed Cay and the party vibe of ARE Weapons and Lockdown Project. These are mere touchstones of course, and you will no doubt find your own. However you choose to tag them though, there's one catch-all label that fits them perfectly: this is rock ‘n' roll.

Album Description
 After releasing the majestic single Terrorist Youth, Weapons Of Mass Belief re-merge rap and rock in an unconventional fashion and can expect to bring joy to the ears of those bored with The Killers, The Bravery and all the other ‘The' bands out there.

Piano gliding over a Nirvana-esque guitar riff, both sets of vocals blend together in an orchestrated mess that sounds like underground, less commercial rap colliding with newbies Steriogram.

"Black lines in the attic, where my father never had it" add personal touches to a single that is bound to send this band catapulting into the big time, and deservedly so.

Drowned In Sound  "March 05"
Ever since the heady days of Grandmaster Flash the art of rapping has always been a tool for expressing the true concerns on the street, whether it's drugs-related violence in American ghettos, racial tensions or the bling-conscious lifestyles of the hood daddies. It's a typically American form of expressing typically American issues so when somewhere like Wales attempts rap, and in turn reflecting the true concerns on the street in, I dunno... downtown Pontypridd perhaps, the resultant squawl is a bunch of stoner buffoons like Goldie Lookin' Chain ‘wapping' about weed, robotic fantasies and Argos jewellery.
That is, until Weapons of Mass Belief came along. These newcomers are set to right the wrong about Wales' reputation with the rhyme through an inspired blend of intelligent, R.A.T.M. style social commentary and rap-inflected punk rock. ‘Black Line Ninja' is their second single, following their acclaimed ‘Terrorist Youth' release last year, and continues with just as much fire and venom. Sinister, cut-throat guitars scythe through taut beats and loaded rhymes in a fashion not heard since the mighty Shootyz Groove were tearing it up with their crossover hybrid.

And just like tha' Groove the song has a threatening undercurrent, recalling vocalist Georgia G's unenviable stint in the slammer and the perspective gained from mixing with hardline Yardie gangsters for 9 months aged just 21! Clearly a tough cookie then!

Punk rock with hugely contagious hooks and a deathly socio-political sting, the hunt for Weapons of Mass Belief ends here.
