Since 2009 Recluse have continually played the local South Wales scene and festivals throughout the UK with a great response to their dynamic and powerful live show.

Recluse regularly play with some of UK's up-and-coming bands such as Henry's Funeral Shoe, Kyshera, Bad Sign and Spider Kitten. Following on from their highly praised debut studio album Crooked Heart, they will release their 2nd album in spring 2015.

Other praise for Recluse includes:
"Recluse Produce a heavy, bass filled sound laced with good, emotive vocals which do the well penned lyrics the justice they deserve. The drumming and guitar riffs are fantastic and the varied sound and up and down nature of the songs takes you on several well directed journeys as you listen" Stereoboard
"Crooked Heart is a slow burning, chunky, bluesy, riff-fest" Metal Talk
"Crooked Heart is a brilliant piece of British Rock!" Room Thirteen
"All 11 tracks of Crooked Heart are pure dynamite" The Bite Magazine

Celebrated American Pro wrestler Tim Donst (CHIKARA / AIW) has begun using the Recluse song Heartjacker (off their debut album Crooked Heart) as his entrance music. “I use Heartjacker as my entrance music because it unselfishly exposes self doubt with self resistance. Blending the pursuit of triumph with heroic acknowledgement of tragedy...” Tim Donst
