This is the first album of brand new songs since the mid-nineties, although there are three collections of their songs available spanning the 80s and 90s. Their style has changed since their punk/new wave days, but the spirit of the band is alive and well! It is 30 years since their first single Twristiaid yn y Dre (1980) and this CD is a also a celebration of that milestone. Songs on the album include Rifiera Gymreig ('Welsh Riviera'); Ras y Broga Melyn ('The Race of the Yellow Frog'), Bywyd heb Farbeciw ('Life without a Barbecue'), Trev a'i Dacsi i'r Sêr ('Trev and his Taxi to the Stars') and Tu Ol y Drysau Aur ('Behind the Golden Doors'). The band are still gigging and by now Dafydd Jones, guitar and Osian Jones, drums/BVs have joined Wyn Jones, bass and Richard Jones, guitar/vocals. The CD also includes their summer single.
