Favourite Welsh band?

[AussieBoy]

Ive noticed a new whole bunch of top rock/post-hardcore/metal bands hailing from Wales, UK the last few years which is your favourite?
(please dont confuse attack! attack! with the lame one exclamation marked US group)

[AussieBoy]

i picked FFAF

though BFMV and losties went close

[flks511]

Lostprophets, even though their latest one was kind of weak.

[kazuma_ootaro28]

Aren't Stereophonics and Super Furry Animals from Wales, as well as Catatonia?

Out of those, either Funeral For A Friend or Lostprophets. Even the English Attack! Attack! wasn't that good. Bullet For My Valentine and Kids In Glass Houses are horrible.

[Chancetobe]

FFAF is quite enjoyable. Even though I've really only listened to one album.

[phil19]

funeral. good band.
no iron maiden? i wouldnt have voted for them, but i believe they're welsh

i kinda just meant this new wave of rock/post-hardcore/metal bands coming from the country, but fair enough i didnt really state that.. my bad, fixed it up

[raychull]

Ffaf

[Indoor Living]

I really, really love BFMV, for some reason. I'm not sure why. I'll go with them.

[Anderson]

[briewer]

Los Campesinos! because duh, all of the rest of these bands suck.

[CloseToShore]

lostprophets. ffaf come close though.

[phil19]

Maiden aren't Welsh. They're English.

they are? oh cool, my bad

[Bobcat46308]

Funeral for a Friend, love their catalogue from Seven Ways... to Hours. Their past two, besides a few tracks, have been so generic and boring though. Does anyone like them?

Not really I don't think.

Though Bullet Theory is still one of my favorite songs to put on mixes. That album was badass. Why did they change directions so much?

[kazuma_ootaro28]

Los Campesinos! because duh, all of the rest of these bands suck.

This band too. Forgot about them (but for a while, I was thinking they were from Canada, for some reason).

[amber3]

Lostprophets.

[matty p]

Feeder.

FFAF have gone downhill since Casually Dressed

[MickShamrock]

Funeral For A Friend.

[denissuxx]

The Blackout, for sheer live entertainment.

[Indoor Living]

I'm really surprised Bullet is in fourth. Third, I could understand, but to Attack Attack? Really?

[Cheesus]

Architects, duh

i dont mind the 2 new cds, some of my favs are on them, but casually & hours r still better

yeah im super suprised as well i thought the big 3 (FFAF,B4MV & LP) wouldve been heaps in front, i pretty much predicted it would turn out in the order u can pick them (top to bottom)

Attack Attack is shit.

[Bobcat46308]

yeah, i mean i like a few songs from Tales Don't Tell Themselves, notably Out of Reach but I couldn't find a single track worth keeping on the new cd (don't even remember what it's called). but I only gave it one listen, any recommendations?

[AndrewIcex]

Funeral For A Friend, best live band I have ever seen, ever.

best ones on the newie are prob

Rules & games
beneath the burning tree
kicking & screaming
maybe i am
to die like a mouchette

[AussieBoy]

Attack Attack is shit.

there not too bad, sure ur not thinking of attack attack! (US) rather than attack! attack! (uk)

[Indoor Living]

there not too bad, sure ur not thinking of attack attack! (US) rather than attack! attack! (uk)
Oh wait. There's more than one?

[Alex DiVincenzo]

I enjoy the first FFAF EP but not much else after that. BFMV are good musicians but they get old fast. Lostprophets have some good stuff; I went with them. Haven't heard the others.

[billyboatkid]

Funeral for a Friend, out of those choices.

[tonighttonight0]

Los Campesinos! because duh, all of the rest of these bands suck.
Fuck I forgot about them...

I voted for FFAF

[Toner]

Had to be Funeral for a Friend, just for their catalogue up to Hours. I tried so hard to like the latest album but nothing except "Waterfront Dance Club" jumped out at me. They've just become so crazily generic. I don't understand how a band who wrote a song as technical as "The Art of American Football" can devolve so much.

Nice to see Dopamine in there too! That band is a blast from the past. Their lead guitarist was so good, shame he didn't follow Neill to Attack! Attack! Have yet to check them out though...

[SkiesSo Blue]

Feeder.

FFAF have gone downhill since Casually Dressed

Couldn't have agreed more...

[SkiesSo Blue]

Oh wait. There's more than one?

yea theres the one which you prob listen to with their album "someday came suddenly" and then the Uk one which has an ! after the second attack as well ie: attack! attack! rather than attack attack! check out the UK boys they are pretty good too.

[k1guitar]

FFAF beccause they are sick live. seriously.

[Undue Noise]

The Blackout. Great lads and a fun live show.

[Poe-tryGirl]

Funeral for a Friend

[AndrewIcex]

FFAF beccause they are sick live. seriously.

You are so right, in fact the best band I have ever seen live is them.

[HammersNStrings]

Had a bit of trouble deciding between Funeral for a Friend and Bullet for my Valentine...went with FFAF because "Hours" gets a lot of play when I can't sleep. Some amazing songs on that album.

[kennell_69]

Tom Jones ftw!

[xpolaris]

I had no idea they were all Welsh bands...
I'll have to go for Lostprophets.

[hockeyguitar99]

All of these bands are terrible.

[AndrewIcex]

All of these bands are terrible.

Really? Even The Lost Prophets?

[AussieBoy]

Really? Even The Lost Prophets?

that kid is just an elitist

[AndrewIcex]

that kid is just an elitist

I figured that, he needs sniped.

[Christrings]

Lostprophets, but the blackout, KIGH and FFAF were very close as well.

[hockeyguitar99]

Really? Even The Lost Prophets?
Yes even Lostprophets

that kid is just an elitist

Nope. Just think those bands are terrible

[more heart]

I voted for Attack Aattck!. Wait, the American one, right?

[AndrewIcex]

I voted for Attack Aattck!. Wait, the American one, right?

No, this is for only Welsh bands.

[more heart]

No, this is for only Welsh bands.

It was being sarcastic. Even still, I voted for Attack! Attack!

[AndrewIcex]

It was being sarcastic. Even still, I voted for Attack! Attack!

Ha okay, its hard to tell sarcasm on the net, so I had no idea haha.

I voted Funeral For A Friend.

[nvrgrwoldnvrdie]
