- Band Description
Stereophonics are a rock band from Wales, UK with original members Kelly Jones, Richard Jones (no relation to Kelly) and Stuart Cable, who grew up together in Cwmaman in the South Wales valleys. The trio began writing and performing in working men’s clubs together in 1992 as a teenage cover band known as 'Tragic Love Company', a name inspired by their favourite bands Tragically Hip, Mother Love Bone and Bad Company. They later changed their name to "Stereophonics", named after the maker of Cable's grandmother's gramophone.
They finally made a big splash in 1996 as the first band to be signed to Richard Branson's new label V2 after the sale of Branson's successful Virgin Records to EMI. Their distinctive sound offered a blend of Oasis-inspired Britpop and '70s-influenced rock & roll earning them a series of big UK hits.
In 2003 drummer Stuart Cable was sacked from the band by Kelly Jones because of problems over "commitment", and was eventually replaced by present drummer Javier Weyler.
