- Die Cardiacs sind eine englische 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 sehr originellen bandeigenen Mix aus Punk/Ska-Attitüde und Progressive Rock-Vertracktheit erschienen. Live spielte die Band unter anderem 1985 im Vorprogramm von Marillion sowie 10 Jahre später als Support von Blur; beide Male kam der bizarre, eklektische Sound der Cardiacs allerdings bei den Fans der Hauptbands nicht sonderlich gut an.
- I Cardiacs sono un gruppo inglese formatosi nel 1977. La loro ampia combinazione di stili è a volte definita come Pronk (Progressive Punk), nonostante il cantante Tim Smith preferisca la descrizione psichedelica o semplicemente pop. Il gruppo ha unito l'energia del punk rock con la complessità e l'abilità tecnica dell'emergente progressive rock britannico. Sono inoltre caratterizzati dall'insolito e distintivo stile sia canoro che compositivo del cantante Smith e dall'intelligenza della criptica dei testi. Il loro sound è completamente unico e inconfondibile, vario, complesso, e intenso.
- Cardiacs, ook wel The Cardiacs, is 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 zijn de enige constanten. De band werd in 1977 opgericht als Cardiac Arrest. Onder die naam werd in 1979 de single A Bus for a Bus on the Bus uitgebracht. Nog dat jaar werd de naam veranderd in Cardiacs. De muzikale stijl van de band werd van meet af aan beïnvloed door progressieve bands en artiesten als Genesis, Gentle Giant en Frank Zappa, terwijl het geluid sterk beïnvloed werd door de punkbeweging. De muziek verscheen aanvankelijk op cassettes en werd tot op heden, op enkele uitzonderingen na, steeds uitgebracht op het eigen platenlabel The Alphabet Business Concern. Later werden enkele maxi-singles en mini-albums en een live-album uitgebracht, totdat in 1988 het eerste echte studioalbum, A Little Man and a House and the Whole World Window, verscheen. Het grootste succes kende de band in de periode 1984-1989. De groep bestond in deze tijd uit zes tot acht leden, waaronder saxofoniste Sarah Smith, sinds 1983 de echtgenote van Tim Smith. In 1984 speelden de Cardiacs in het voorprogramma van Marillion, overigens tot groot ongenoegen van het publiek. In 1987 haalde de band het nieuws dankzij boulevardkrant Sunday Sport, dat berichtte dat Tim en Sarah broer en zus zouden zijn en een incestueuze verhouding hadden. Dit onjuiste bericht werd door de Cardiacs niet echt weerlegd en zorgde voor veel publiciteit. In 1988 werd in eigen land een hit gescoord met de single Is this the life. Buiten Engeland zijn de Cardiacs vrij onbekend; in Nederland heeft de groep echter een cultaanhang en werd ook enkele malen opgetreden. Sinds 1990, toen vier leden opstapten en niet allemaal werden vervangen, waaronder Sarah, bestaat de band steeds uit vier leden, waarvan de broers Smith de enige constanten zijn. Bij gebrek aan een toetsenist wordt sindsdien bij concerten gebruikgemaakt van een geluidsband. Eind juni 2008 werd Tim Smith getroffen door een hartstilstand. Alle activiteiten, waaronder de release van het nieuwe album en een reeks concerten in november werden tot nader orde geannuleerd. Het is onduidelijk of en wanneer Cardiacs zullen terugkeren.
- Cardiacs are an English alternative rock/psychedelic pop band formed in 1977 and led by Tim Smith. Noted for their complex, varied and intense compositional style and for their eccentric, theatrical stage shows, they have been hailed as an influence by bands as diverse as Blur, Faith No More and Radiohead. Cardiacs have released eight studio albums plus a number of live albums, compilation albums and singles between 1980 and 2007, and are best known for the 1988 minor hit single "Is This the Life?" They are also noted for attracting strongly diverse responses: they have remained one of Britain's leading cult rock bands during their four-decade-spanning career, but have also attracted virulent critical attack (including a lengthy editorial ban from the British music magazine New Musical Express). The band has been on indefinite (and possibly permanent) hiatus following the 2008 hospitalisation of Tim Smith after a heart attack and series of strokes.
- 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. 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, как Тим Смит испытал тяжёлый сердечный приступ (связанный с внезапной остановкой сердца); с тех пор его состояние улучшилось, но к музыкальной деятельности он пока не вернулся.
- Cardiacs est un groupe de rock anglais formé en 1976. Leur musique 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, Selon la revue musicale Organ, « une seule chanson des Cardiacs peut contenir les idées suffisantes à la carrière entière de la plupart des autres groupes ».

- "Tim would have drums and rough keyboard chords on tape and would ask me to come up with guitar and bass riffs. I was literally allowed to do pretty much anything I wanted. Tim would then do the production bit and get the best out of me… I remember Tim had programmed the weird bit in the middle of "Odd Even" and left me to find a guitar line amongst the chords so I was sat on my own dropping myself in. When he came back it was done and he was very happy... particularly with my choice of last note! We would both make suggestions then Tim would edit the ideas into something that worked. Tim would chip in with ideas for my songs too like the string arrangement on "Manhoo" which was lovely."
- It was horrible, really like one of those yellow panic nightmares where everything's going wrong and you can't stop it, but I kept thinking it was a nightmare, then about halfway through the evening I tried to wake up and I realised this was actually happening, right? o I panicked, but nothing was going right and nobody could hear anything and Sarah's sax kept cutting out, and I think that's on the video, me shouting to myself that I can't stop it... but everyone else said it was a really good gig!
- I love it when a celeb is on our side. It's not as if their opinions are any more important than anyone else's, I just like it. Who wouldn't? Imagine if a great big celeb lived next door to you and they said they liked your slippers, you'd tell everyone. I would.
- Think about what pop music is, and where it has been, the things and changes that it has gone through, however ridiculous. All pop is ridiculous and fantastic. Who is to say that you can't do whatever you like with it when you look at its history?
- A lot of people find our act disturbing because it brings out something in you that a lot of people won't admit to. It's the weirdness in everyone whether you like it or not. Some people think it's dead funny, wonderful, beautiful, genius, and others hate it. It's strange when people hate us - they really do hate us, it brings out something odd in people.
- You look at a road on an aerial photograph and you think, bloody hell, it's suburbia, all those little houses, all in a row, but all those houses have people in them – say there's four people in a house, that is four whole worlds... Yes, I mean we're part of it all, we're all in it, but it's strange that you have a house and it's all you ever wanted, you've worked all your life for it and you're keeping it in order for the eyes of others who probably couldn't give a toss anyway - or people who want to compete, to care, which is even weirder.
- Dominic Luckman and I were sound/lights/roadies. I was reserve bass player, but not actually in the band - Jim 's job at the time meant that he couldn't make every gig. Second reserve bass player, when I couldn't make it either, was Jon Bastable from The Trudy.
- We are not a progressive rock band, progressive rock bands usually tend to have a particular style to them, however individual the bands sound is, there is usually a flavour there which is the prog flavour. We are a pop group...We are as punky as nothing. God forbid if anyone thought that we were a crazy "fusion" of punk and prog. If a word is needed then I would use "psychedelic" if anything.
