Stereophonics are a Welsh rock band formed in 1992 in the village of Cwmaman in the Cynon Valley, Wales. The band consists of Kelly Jones (lead vocals, lead guitar, keyboards), Richard Jones (bass guitar, harmonica, backing vocals), Adam Zindani (rhythm guitar, backing vocals), Jamie Morrison (drums, percussion) and touring member Tony Kirkham (keyboards). The group previously included Stuart Cable (1992–2003) and then Javier Weyler (2004–2012) on drums. Stereophonics have released twelve studio albums, including eight UK number one albums. A successful compilation album, Decade in the Sun, was released in November 2008 and charted at number two on the UK Album Chart.
Links to Peel[]
Although Peel generally was not a fan of the group's music, he praised them for taking part in the Hillsborough Justice concert, which raised money for the Hillsborough disaster fund, and played tracks from the concert via the 'You'll Never Walk Alone - The Hillsborough Justice Concert' album on his shows in 1997. A year later Peel co-hosted his show with Steve Lamacq, which featured concert footage of the band's performance for Sound City.
