It has taken Catatonia eight years of hard work and perseverance to gain the recognition they so richly deserve, but Cerys' searing vocals and the band's euphoric guitar pop have risen to the top of the notorious music ladder.Hardly surprising really considering the wealth of talent that is Catatonia and the crest of the Welsh wave they assuredly ride. But as anyone will tell you, what makes Catatonia different from their contemporaries, the Manic Street Preachers, Stereophonics and others - is Cerys. Cerys Matthews has become an icon in her own right - a combination of sweetness and South Walian toughness that is proving to be so endearing to her legion of fans. Often likened to Blondie, Cerys has become the epitome of a fashion for strong yet talented women. Proud to be Welsh and paving the way for the use of Welsh language in the mainstream, this is not so much Girl Power as Power for Wales. Finally the world has come to the principality and discovered a voice in Cerys as legendary as that of Shirley Bassey and Tom Jones.In Cerys, Catatonia and the Rise of Welsh Pop, Welsh journalist David Owens follows the metamorphosis of Catatonia from a small indie band to adored pop icons and gives a snapshot of the Welsh music scene from where it all began. The rise and yet further rise of Catatonia and Welsh guitar bands is the most exciting story to have dominated the music scene.
