Hotly-tipped Welsh indie rock outfit Trampolene have recorded a paean to British movie star Tom Hardy with the release of a single named after the actor.

The single is actually written about the mind-boggling achievements and idle boasts of singer Jack Jones’ school friend in Swansea – and packs the sort of punch seen from best supporting actor-nominated Hardy portrayed notorious jailbird Charles Bronson in the movie Bronson.

Hardy has been Oscar nominated for his role in The Revenant.

The single, which was recorded live at Konk studios and mixed by Cenzo Townshend (Florence & The Machine/The Maccabees), is available as a free download from here.

Fans of The Libertines would be more than familiar with Trampolene’s frontman Jack Jones, who was the band’s special guest on their recent arena tour.

Jack, who also has a penchant for hard-hitting poetry with a social conscience, was personally invited by Peter Doherty and Carl Barat of The Libertines to perform two of his poems Ketamine and Pound Land at the arena shows, memorably welcoming The Libertines to the stage in front of 20,000 fans at the O2 Arena in London.

Trampolene recently completed a highly successful Friday-night-residency at Koko/Club NME last summer.

They toured continuously throughout 2015 with stand out support slots with the Buzzcocks, Reverend & The Makers, The Enemy and Carl Barat & The Jackals and played at the Glastonbury and Isle Of Wight Festivals.
