My band's name is Llangwynidd. They are from Ottawa, Canada and appeared in the musical scene last year, but they gained international success until this year. Thir first single, "We Must Fall", of the album "It has to be us", was released in October 18th, 2008.

Llangwynidd is a pop/rock band with five members; Jacob Simpson in the vocals and bass guitar, Lorraine Smith in the drums, Jeremy Stanford and Molly Owen in the in the guitars, and Manuel DeRio in the keyboards. Their leader Jacob founded the band in 2007, playing in local bars and clubs in Ottawa, but in 2008 they got an agent and gained popularity and recorded their first demo. The producers were so impressed that they decided to launch the CD "It has to be us" to the market, and with "We Must Fall" they consolidated as a band. "We Must Fall" ended in the 11th place of the Billboard Magazine 100 hot songs of 2008.

Their actual and second single is "Ironies" and is nominated in the best video category of the MTV Video Music Award 2009. This song was released on April 26th, 2009, and will be proceded by the song "Moon Is Unreachable" which will be released in May 15th. An interview with drummer Lorraine Smith, she declared: "We are very excited with the nomination since it has been a lot of hard work. Our plans now are to release the new single and start to plan the new CD that we hope to be ready by December".
