When you think of Welsh artists, chances are your mind will wander to Bonnie Tyler and Tom Jones. Connoisseurs will mention Manic Street Preachers, Feeder, Funeral For A Friend, Stereophonics, Catatonia and The Joy Formidable. However, even they would be missing the most important band to hail from Cymru: Super Furry Animals.
If you haven’t had the pleasure yet, this Welsh rock group was formed in Cardiff in 1993. Led by singer-guitarist Gruff Rhys (and featuring actor Rhys Ifans on lead vocals during an earlier incarnation of the band), the five-piece were at the forefront of what many referred to as the renaissance of Welsh culture in the 90s.
