A bright new noise in U.K. alternative stone in the '90s and into the new millennium, Stereophonics ar comprised of vocalist/guitarist Kelly Jones, bassist Richard Jones, and drummer Stuart Cable (until the latter's replacement by Javier Weyler). They were formed in Cwmaman, South Wales, in the first place as the teen overcompensate band Tragic Love Company. Early reviews cited the Manic Street Preachers as their well-nigh obvious influence, and their initial mess of singles struggled to disabuse cynics of this whim.
Yet in Jones, Stereophonics possess an able author as well as a singer of some distinction, a fact that was only truly acknowledged next the release of their debut LP.

It as well marked the debut of drummer Javier Weyler. The band's first live album, Live from Dakota, arrived in spring 2006.
