With just a few weeks to go until the end of 2021, the mighty Pigeon Wigs are closing it off in classic Pigeon Wigs style by releasing their monstrous B-side The Way You Do.
The Way You D o was written hastily amidst the days-old wreckage of a break up, with lyrics heavily inspired by the self-criticism and the guilt that followed.
Using this song as a confessional, an emotional outlet (like all good songs), The Way You Do speaks of a very visceral point in lead singer, Harry's, life. "It was cathartic to get out. I may look back at the situation all slightly differently now, but I would never change the lyrics because they were my feelings at that point in time" explains Harry.
The Way You Do is a rip-roaring release layered with that signature Pigeon Wigs vocal that people have already come to love, fuzzy guitar, huge choruses, and a hook that you just can't leave alone.
So far, Pigeon Wigs have already gained support from the likes of Adam Walton and Bethan Elfyn of BBC Radio Wales, with Adam labelling their debut as "Sexual and somewhat primal". Pigeon Wigs also featured as 'This Is The Music's' band of the week.
Pigeon Wigs are a 6-piece rock ’n’ roll band newly sprung from Cardiff’s fertile soil. Formed from the writing partnership of Harry Franklin-Williams & Louis Jugessur, their music ranges from the bombastic and unrelenting to the sombre and fragile, indulging whatever genre best suits their aims while maintaining a through line that one can only describe as Pigeon Wigs.

Pigeon Wigs are band newly sprung from Cardiff’s most fertile soil. Formed from the writing partnership of Harry Franklin-Williams & Louis Jugessur, the band's music ranges from the bombastic and unrelenting, to the sombre and fragile.
Indulging in whatever genre best suits their aim, they continue to maintain the soon to be unmistakable sound that one can only describe as Pigeon Wigs.
Released today (Wednesday 6th October), Near The Knuckle is a blindingly rambunctious debut single full of hearty guitar riffs, sleek vocals coupled with colossal drums and an instant sing-along chorus.
"Near the Knuckle embraces reckless abandon" explains Cardiff born lead singer and front-man Harry. "It's the urgent frustration of knowing you're with the wrong person and the desperate compulsion to not be alone dressed up in doozie rocker.".
Pigeon Wigs recently announced that they've joined the Clwb Music family. They're already gearing up for their next release and if Near The Knuckle is anything to go by, there's just no stopping this relentless 6-piece.
