Give it up for... Y Trwynau Coch?

I read more of George Gimarc's fabulous "Punk Diary: The Ultimate Trainspotter's Guide to Underground Rock, 1970-82" during my lunch break today.
Reading the entries for the summer of 1978 inspired me to dip into my music collection to hear a pair of songs by Welsh-language punk band Y Trwynau Coch ("The Red Noses").
Formed in Swansea in 1977, the band included Ian Jones, Huw Eurig, Rhys Harris, Alun Harris and Huw Chiswell.
Following the punk ideal, they formed their own record label, upset radio executives by singing about watching 15-year-old girls walking down the lane and refused to sing in anything but Welsh. This latter decision probably limited their potential for career growth outside the principality, and Y Trwynau Coch disbanded by 1980.
Band members have since become accountants, doctors and Welsh television executives. Their place in history is assured, however, as they provided a spark for the Welsh punk scene. Modern groups from Wales, including Stereophonics, Manic Street Preachers and Super Furry Animals surely owe Y Trwynau Coch a debt.
Today I listened to their songs "Byw Ar Arian Fy Rhieni (Living on My Parents' Money)" and "Mynd i'r Capel Mewn Levis (Going to Chapel in Levis)."
Going to chapel in Levis? Oh my! That's about as "punk rock" as you can get. Maybe.
