A WREXHAM band is enjoying some worldwide recognition following the release of its latest single.

The much-loved Declan Swans have enjoyed some great success stories of late.

The three-piece band is made up of singer Michael 'Scoot' Hett, drummer Ben Jones and guitarist Mark Jones, and they have been performing together for over 20 years.

Their 'Always Sunny In Wrexham' hit - popular among Wrexham fans on a matchday at the Racecourse - is currently being sold on vinyl due to its popularity.

And the band even starred on the popular Welcome to Wrexham series - which earned them some new fans overseas.

That popularity is now being displayed by the fact that their latest single - 'Hamilton Scum' - has hit Itunes charts around the world.

The song is a brutal ode to controversial former Wrexham AFC chairman Alex Hamilton.

Declan Swans took to social media to voice their disbelief at the single's meteoric rise.

It has been played in over 150 countries worldwide including in Italy, Turkey, Norway, India, Chile, Phillippines, Nigeria and Slovakia.

On the Apple Music 'Comedy' Charts, the song has peaked at number one in Benin, as well as at number one in the UK and number three in the US.

The band wrote: "What is happening! Our new single is playlisted by Apple Music in over 150 countries and we are charting at no. 1 and other positions around the world! Thank you so much!"

The band's manager, Steve Cusack, told the Leader: "I think the US ranking really stands out the most for me as the comedy competition over there is ridiculous.

"It's stuff like this that really helps to put Wrexham on the map and even people like Huw Stephens (BBC Radio show presenter) are backing the band now."

Steve has been involved in the music industry for a number of years, working with the likes of Vevo and campaigning for stars such as Harry Styles and Cardi B.

A break from music, led to him working as Ryan Reynolds' covid officer during the filming of Welcome to Wrexham and that's how he met the Declan Swans.

Steve, who lives in Cheshire, said: "I met them and I just thought becoming their manager made a lot of sense. I'm pleased to be working with the guys and I think there's a lot more to come from them in the near future."

Declan Swans are dubbed as a 'Wrexham Comedy Indie Alt band'.

They can regularly be seen and heard performing at venues across the Wrexham area.
