Discovered The Voices while searching for a backup pick for Music League. Seems like mixed quality so far, but some really nice shoegaze gems in there.

Here are a couple good prettier ones:

And a good aggressive one:

Talking of Shoegaze how could I forget Perfect Body (from Cardiff)

Melys from the Ankst release S4C makes me want to smoke crack volume 2. Ankst was a great label. Released early SFA and Gorky’s amongst many others over the years. No longer active I don’t think.

i nearly picked high contrast for music league welsh round, but thought @Jamos might have me covered after saying he might become a deebee guy…

Anyone got any thoughts on this shortlist? I really enjoyed the Carwyn Ellis and Rio 18 album.

Like what I’ve heard of The Anchoress, Kelly Lee Owens. Hope Datblygu win for David R Edwards. Would be a nice posthumous award I think.

Just hearing that Emyr Glyn Williams who was one of Ankst’s founders has died. Absolutely pivotal to the careers of so many of my favourite bands.
