Stereophonics: Just Enough Evidence to Print the Official Inside Story

By Danny O'Connor

Stereophonics have slowly become one of the biggest bands in Britain. From their early days in their hometown in Wales, the band have grown in prestige, reputation and commercial clout, stealthily outselling some of the biggest British rock acts around. With unparalleled access we travel with them from the terraced streets of Cwmanan, Wales, to the showbiz capitals of the world. En route Kelly, Richard and Stuart talk about the early days, songwriting and the creation of the current album, J.E.E.P. We hear from friends and relatives, and there are cameo roles from Kevin Spacey, Johnny Depp, David Bowie and Rhys Ifans.

Huw's Review

A great book. This book follows the Stereophonics from the initial start in Cwmaman to the writing of their hit album Just Enough Education to Perform [notice similarity in the names?]. Anyhows, this book follows the story of a once small local band as they turn into an international phonomenon: the pain of getting a record contract; the pressures of touring; the satisfaction of watching your record fly into the charts and of course, the intensley electrifying atmosphere of a live Stereophonics gig. This book truly is great and makes you feel as if you know the stereophonics since they were born. Absolutaly great.
