The Weekend Run Club ‘Price of Wales’
The five-piece draws from a wide range of genres, including rock, alternative, power pop, punk, and emo, and creates songs on identity, coming of age, and everything interpersonal.

The main track on the album, “Prince of Wales,” featured synth chords. Along with some bass lines that Mitchell carelessly played around with, the guitar parts were written on the spur of the moment.

Seb Adams ‘Guitar Hero III’
