  • The music of Cardiff has been dominated mainly by rock music since the early 1990s with later trends developing towards more extreme styles of the genre such as heavy metal and metalcore music. It, along with the nearby music scene in Newport, has brought a number of musicians to perform or begin their careers in South Wales. Famous Cardiff bands include those from the Cool Cymru era including Super Furry Animals, Kids in Glass Houses and Funeral for a Friend, McLusky, The Loves, Los Campesinos!, The School and We're No Heroes, who dominate Cardiff's music scene today. Cardiff is home to the world's oldest record shop, Spillers Records, which was established in 1894, and was situated in The Hayes area of the city centre before relocating to the nearby Morgan Arcade in 2010. A study by the Performing Rights Society revealed that Cardiff is the second most musical city in the UK based upon the number of bands having their origins in each UK city. (en)
