Cardiacs are a British band formed in 1977. Combining the excitement and energy of punk rock with the intricacies and technical cleverness of early British progressive rock, a combination sometimes referred to as pronk, although singer Tim Smith prefers the description psychedelic, their sound is unique, varied, complex and intense.

Cardiacs were formed by Tim Smith in suburban Kingston upon Thames, Surrey, sometime around 1977. Since then the band line-up has remained fluid, undergoing numerous line-up changes, with Tim's brother Jim Smith being the only other surviving original member, and many previous members appearing now and again for live performances, or helping out backstage (and vice vera).
