NEW VINYL LP ON UNIVERSAL 2016

180 GRAM VINYL.

In the late ’90s, a rash of Welsh rock bands emerged, among them Catatonia, Super Furry Animals, 60 Ft. Dolls, and the Stereophonics. On the surface, the Stereophonics’ gritty rock & roll seems relatively uninspired, but upon close listen Word Gets Around proves to be a very accomplished debut. Vocalist/guitarist Kelly Jones’ vocals are raw and rip the songs apart, as his loud, arena-ready guitar assault gives every track a gritty edge. Jones’ lyrics are also of note; highly poetic and meaningful, he writes about the underbelly of a small town.
