Hailing from Carmarthen, South Wales, Adwaith grew up surrounded by a rich tradition of Welsh-language indie-rock. Their debut album "Melyn" (2018) perfectly skewered the anxiety and unease of adulthood. The record went on to win the prestigious Welsh Music Prize, and won the support of BBC Radio 1, BBC 6 Music, KEXP, NPR and BBC Introducing. In 2022 the band released "Bato Mato", inspired by an illuminating train journey into rural Siberia. The band became the first act to win the Welsh Music Prize twice over, and now have three headline tours, an acclaimed Glastonbury set and Manic Street Preachers and IDLES support slots under their belts. Adwaith might be a band with clear roots in Wales – but looking towards the future, they’re now keenly focused on taking the language worldwide.
