Manic Street Preachers up for Welsh Music Prize
The Manic Street Preachers will compete with the bands including The Joy Formidavle and Funeral for a Friend for the newly established Welsh Music Prize.
The award is designed as the equivalent to the UK prestigious Mercury Music Prize and a shortlist of 10 artists was released last week.
The A Design for Life singers have been nominated for their album Postcards from a Young Man, while The Joy Formidable's The Big Roar and Welcome Home Armageddon by Funeral for a Friend are among the records in competition.
Other artists in the running for the inaugural award include Gruff Rhys (Hotel Shampoo), Colorama (Box) and Y Niwl's self-titled release.
The winner will be unveiled during the SWN festival in Cardiff in October
