Welsh guitar rockers Stereophonics have always written insightfully about daily life in their hometown of Cwmaman. From the 1997 debut, Word Gets Around, to 2009’s album, Keep Calm and Carry On, frontman Kelly Jones has often written about his teenage years in the small Welsh town. Now, Jones promises Stereophonics’ forthcoming eighth album will be a “bit different” and will hopefully have a foreign flavor to it.
Speaking at the launch of rock group AC/DC's Live at River Plate DVD premiere in London, Kelly told Bang Showbiz: “The album is really good so far. We’ve been in the studio for a few weeks and we’re off to Europe next week to do some more recording. The style is a bit different, we’re doing some stuff for films, so you’ll have to wait and see.”
“Stuff for films” sounds intriguing. Jones completed film studies training as a teenage student and the BBC showed interest in some of his early screenplays. He later turned his lyrical observations of local life into Stereophonics lyrics.
But Jones was at the AC/DC premiere to talk up his heroes. Jones declared it was “unbelievable how AC/DC are still kicking every young band up the [expletive]… They are one of my favorite bands I’ve ever seen since I was a kid. I’m the biggest AC/DC fan in the country.”
