Music of Cardiff

The music of Cardiff has been dominated mainly by rock music since the early 1990s with later trends developing towards more extreme styles of the genre such as heavy metal and metalcore music. It, along with the nearby music scene in Newport, has brought a number of musicians to perform or begin their careers in South Wales. Famous Cardiff bands include the post-punk band Young Marble Giants, bands from the Cool Cymru era including Super Furry Animals and Catatonia, as well as the post-hardcore bands Funeral for a Friend and McLusky. The Loves, Los Campesinos!, The School and We're No Heroes are bands who dominate Cardiff's music scene today.
