 ... Cerys Matthews' voice is pure heaven. She could take a run-of-the-mill crappy song by any old Tom, Dick or Harry and turn it into a beautiful, enchanting classic just by using her best asset, her voice! If you have just found out about Catatonia through their second album "International Velvet", then I suggest you go out and buy "Way Beyond Blue" which was their first, and in my opinion best, work to date. I am just sad that there will be no more brilliant music, as the band split up...more

Catatonia are one of the best bands you'll ever hear. With three great albums tucked under their belt and a fourth currently in production Catatonia have been racking up the hits and pulling in a large fan base along the way. The albums provide a diverse mix of musical tastes, although they all bear that unmistakable Catatonia feel, which is probably due to the unique (yet wonderful) voice of the front lady, Cerys Matthews. If you haven't bought a Catatonia album, and want to I would recommend "International Velvet" as this provides a compromise between the beautiful (but "darker") first album "Way Beyond Blue" and ...

There are lots of welsh bands around, The Manic Street Preachers and Stereophonics are just two of the good ones, my favourite though, has to be Catatonia. In my experience, catatonia's the kind of band you find tucked away on the shelves of music stores because they're not that popular. I didn't really get into them until a couple of years ago but i think they're great! There are five members of catatonia, Cerys Matthews being the most well known. The others Mark, Paul, Aled and Owen don't get as much credit as Cerys, which I find is unfair, as it is their music as much as Cerys', often more. All of the members except Cerys have ...

Catatonia are a true Welsh band and Cerys has done a lot to promote Wales in the two years that she has been famous. I have seen Catatonia play live about three times and there are very good. Cerys certainly knows hoe to entertain the crowd. I am alittle disappointed with them at the moment as they cancelled their Christmas shows a year ago because they said they were not ready for them mentally! If you like pop/indie songs then you will like Catatonia. They have only really been on the music scene for about two years and suddenly became famous. I think a lot of their publicity was down to Cerys and her wild behaviour. She seems to get a lot of good press even ...
