Stereophonics

[NelCarra]

Or still going strong?

[Bjornebye]

Cant get enough of these at the minute. Always liked them but they are one of the most underrated bands ever. 

 

[lifetime fan]

Saw them at Portsmouth pyramids donkeys years ago.

 

Was the Word Gets Around tour.

 

Was class.

Class.

 

 

Hate that venue. They could do fucking loads with the pyramid centre there, instead its like going back in time to 1992. Boss location and all right on the sea.

We were pissed before we got there.

 

Having a beer outside and a mate knelt down behind another pal and I pushed him over.

 

He went fucking down the hill and kept complaining of a sore foot all night. We just kept telling him to stop being a whinging tart and ruining our night.

 

He went to A&E the next day and had broken his ankle in two places.

Ha I remember that craze in our school. You couldn't stand still without checking behind you.

We still take the piss out of him now.

Fuck me, just googled it, that gig was 19 years ago!

Word gets around was the first album I ever bought, still love it 20 years on (give or take). unlike most I still liked everything they did up to the 5th or 6th album (Pull the Pin) before getting a little bored, though I do like a more recent song called Graffiti on the train:

Graffiti on the train is a great record. Love their latest one

Thousand trees.

[Remmie]

I think Local boy in photograph is my favourite song of theirs

Got that on right now. Horribly reminds me of my mate who committed suicide in-front of a train years ago though. Still love it but its more poignant. 

[RedKnight]

I love Word Gets Around because it's all stories from the town we're from. Feels personal as a lot of it resonates with me, especially Too Many Sandwiches and More Life in a Tramp's Vest. Performance and Cocktails is great too. It all gets a bit dull after that.

Funny that you bumped this thread. I found that song on YouTube last week after deciding to listen to some Stereophonics for the first time in years. I've had it on a couple of times since. It's a good tune. Dakota is always gonna be my favourite of theirs though.

[The Midnight Rambler]

Great songwriter. Just when you think he's gone a bit middle of the road, he can produce songs like Dakota, Indian Summer etc.. Like most people, I was a huge fan from word gets around & Performance & Cocktails and then kinda faded away a tad. Seen them a few times but last time I got to see them was at Cardiff city stadium, you'd struggle to get a better atmosphere at a home coming gig (it's kind of a home coming)

 

Discovered this again on holiday and listened to it on repeat floating on a lilo for two weeks

[manwiththestick]

Word gets around wason almost permanent repeat when me and my mates used to sit off on one of my mates houses getting pissed/stoned. Seen them live around 1997 and again in 98 when they were supporting James. Like others have said after Performance and Cocktails they went a bit hit and miss although some of their recent stuff sounds a bit more back to form.

[stringvest]

Stereophonics, Coldplay and David Gray.  

 

This place really has turned into RAWK.  

[Jairzinho]

Is there a Maroon 5 thread?

[Trumo]

Or Toploader? Or Badly Drawn Boy? Or any other turn of the century British artists who look like they live under a bridge?

[cloggypop]

Is there a Kooks thread?

 

If not I'm off to bump that Catpiss & The Litter Tray one.

[Ezekiel 25:17]

First two albums were unreal, then they made JEEP which was ok, never been interested with their stuff after that, I'd still class them as one of my favourite bands.

Alright music police, I'll start a friggin' Mariah Carey thread if I want. The only band to have it's own thread here before today and recently was fucking Oasis. I like Stereophonics and David Gray, sue my teats.

[Remmie]

I'm not sure there's another band quite as trendy to slag off as Stereophonics...maybe U2 but that's justified

[razor]

I only came in this thread for The Pixies.
