THE ALTERNATIVE WALES SOUNDTRACK #16
MEGAN WYN
All-time favourite album:
I always struggle to answer this question as there are so many amazing albums out there! But one album that I've listened to and loved since I was a baby is 'Nevermind' by Nirvana.
Favourite Welsh language album:
One Welsh album that's been on repeat for me since it's release in 2018 is 'Mae'n Hawdd Pan Ti'n Ifanc' by Mellt. Another one has to be 'Sugno Gola' by Gwilym.
Favourite new Welsh band/artist:
I've been really loving a Cardiff based band called The Rotanas at the moment! As well as a Welsh language band called Lewys.
3 dream festival headliners:
Has to be Fleetwood Mac, Oasis and Arctic Monkeys!
An underrated band/artist:
A band from London called Outer Stella Overdrive, they're a mix of indie, punk and alternative. I can't wait to get to one of their gigs once they're back on! Another London based band that I love at the moment is Lock-In, an indie-pop band who's just released a banger called 'Get Over It'. A musician called Otto from South Wales is also phenomenal, his single 'Tell Me Something (I don't Know)' is so good and always on repeat.
A song that reminds you of a particular memory:
'Hey There Delilah' by Plain White T's. When I was younger, about 3/4 years old, I used to sing this song to my dad before he went away for a long time as he's in the army, so it always reminds me of my dad.
Go to album when you’re down:
'Punisher’ and 'Stranger In The Alps' by Phoebe Bridgers, to be honest, I have these albums on no matter what mood I'm in.
Go to record to get you worked up:
'Harry Styles' by Harry Styles and 'Tango In The Night' by Fleetwood Mac.
A lyric that resonates with you:
'Remember everything will be alright. We can meet again somewhere, somewhere far away from here' , a line from 'Sign Of The Times' by Harry Styles. I believe it's quite a peaceful lyric and emphasises that there is hope no matter what's going on in the world or in your personal life, which is something that's good to remember during these weird times.
