Mellt are a four piece band originally from Aberystwyth, but now based in Cardiff. Their debut album 'Mae'n Hawdd Pan Ti'n Ifanc' (It's Easy When You're Young) won the coveted Welsh Language Album of the Year in 2018, and was nominated for the Welsh Music Prize the same year.

Their second album 'Dim Dwywaith' was released in October 2023 on Clwb Music and received incredible reviews from Clash, NME and a 8/10 review from Uncut Magazine. It also reached the short list for the Welsh Music Prize and Welsh Language Album of the Year. With numerous live shows under their belt, this energetic four piece manages to captivate an audience wherever they go, firmly making their mark in Wales’ vast music landscape. With chant-like vocals, shrieking guitar and punching drumbeats, Mellt are crowd anarchists. Citing influences from The Clash, The Band and The Replacements, with their catchy guitar riffs and a perfect blend of slacker rock and post punk sounds — Mellt’s clever and intricate lyrics take them to the next level.

Please note the basement is not wheelchair accessible and is accessed by a narrow enclosed staircase. For more accessibility info, please email access@exchangebristol.com
