By claiming a genre that we would not typically think of as a fertile source for community innovation, the group, Telgate, which emerged from the pastoral areas of Wales, also advocates a loud and unapologetic queer identity.
The second single to be released in what seems to be a significant and prolific year for the Cardiff-based rockers, ‘Gammon’ is the newest offering from Telgate. Since they started sharing music in 2019, they have been active, but we haven’t gotten a cohesive body of work from them until now. Judging from this, we can expect big and wonderful things from them.

“Telgate’s music is a masterful fusion of euphonious rhythms and sublime melodies.”
The song ‘Gammon’ opens with a chaotic and furious rhythmic groove before launching into a bluesy guitar riff and the gritty but potent and energetic lead vocals of Telgate. The record sounds saturated overall, with the level of distortion being below maximum. The song ‘Gammon’ is a true classic that commands the attention of the listener. It seems to be embracing a certain glam-rock attitude, but it also has a modern edge that makes it stand out.
I suggest you listen to Telgate’s latest music and enjoy it by giving it your full attention.
