Stereophonics

Stereophonics (never "The Stereophonics") are a Welsh music group formed in 1992 and originally known as Tragic Love Company, a name inspired by their favourite bands Tragically Hip, Mother Love Bone and Bad Company. They started out as a teenage cover band and later, inspired by Stuart's gran's gramophone changed their name to "Stereophonics". They hail from Cwmaman, near Aberdare in South Wales and after they changed their name they were one of the first bands to be signed to Richard Branson's V2 label in August 1996. Their best known songs include a cover of Chris Farlowe's "Handbags and Gladrags", "A Thousand Trees", "Mr. Writer", "Local Boy in a Photograph" and "Just Looking".
