Cardiacs are an English rock band formed in Kingston upon Thames by Tim Smith (lead guitar and vocals) and his brother Jim (bass, backing vocals) in 1977 under the name Cardiac Arrest. The band's sound fused circus, baroque pop and medieval music with progressive rock and post-punk, adding other elements like nursery rhymes and sea shanties. Tim Smith was the primary lyricist, noted for his complex and innovative compositional style. He and his brother were the only constant members in the band's regularly changing lineup.

  • Die Cardiacs sind eine britische Band aus Surrey. Sie wurde 1977, damals noch unter dem Namen Cardiac Arrest, gegründet. 1980 benannte man sich um in Cardiacs. Bis zum Debütalbum „A Little Man and a House and the Whole World Window“ 1988 veröffentlichten die Cardiacs nur Singles, EPs und Kassetten. Seitdem sind in unregelmäßigen Abständen eine Reihe von Alben mit dem bandeigenen Mix aus Punk/Ska-Attitüde und Progressive Rock erschienen. Cardiacs-Texte knüpfen an die surrealistische Grundhaltung der frühen Genesis an (alltägliche, urbritische Bezüge, aber traumartige-surreale Verarbeitungen). Bei den Cardiacs reagieren gegensätzliche Stilmittel zu etwas Neuem (vgl. The Police): Entsprechend bezeichnen die Cardiacs ihre Musik als 'Pronk' (Wortkreuzung aus Prog und Punk). Zudem wurde Cardiacs (de)

  • Cardiacs est un groupe de rock britannique, originaire de Kingston upon Thames, Greater London, en Angleterre. Il a été formé en 1977. Son style musical combine un large éventail de genres musicaux et a souvent été qualifiée de « pronk », contraction de progressif et punk, bien que le chanteur Tim Smith lui préfère simplement le terme de psychédélique ou pop. Leur musique est soutenue par le chant singulier et les paroles poétiques et cryptiques de Smith. (fr)

  • Cardiacs was een Britse band rond de broers Tim en Jim Smith. De vaak chaotisch klinkende muziek van de band is gebaseerd op de klassieke progressieve rock uit de jaren 70 maar kent belangrijke invloeden uit andere muziekstijlen, met name punk en, in mindere mate, ska. De bezetting is sinds de oprichting vele malen gewijzigd; de broers Smith waren de enige constanten. Eind juni 2008 werd Tim Smith getroffen door een hartstilstand. Alle activiteiten, waaronder de release van het nieuwe album (voorlopige titel: LSD) en een reeks concerten in november werden tot nader order geannuleerd. (nl)

  • Cardiacs — британская рок-группа, образовавшаяся в 1977 году (сначала как The Filth, потом — Cardiac Arrest) в графстве Суррей, Англия, и соединившая в своей музыке D.I.Y.-этику со стилистикой раннего прога (Gong, Gentle Giant и др.). Необычное сочетание разнополярных музыкальных влияний в творчестве группы привело к появлению термина pronk (progressive punk), но вокалист Тим Смит всегда просил относить его к группу к психоделическому року или «…просто к поп-музыке». Тем не менее, как отмечают специалисты, Cardiacs с их взрывными, стремительными, но при этом тщательно аранжированными композициями и загадочными текстами остаются уникальным явлением в британском роке. В июне 2008 года деятельность группы была на неопределённый срок прекращена (и планировавшиеся релизы отложены) после того, к (ru)
