Stereophonics’ Latest, Grafitti On The Train, To Get US Release

Earlier this year (March 4), Wales’ Stereophonics  released their top-selling eighth studio effort in their native continent.  The album, Grafitti On The Train, entered the UK charts at number 3, and remains in the Top 20 well after its first appearance.  And that bodes well for the stability and endurance of the material found on the new album.

Stereophonics‘ brand of rock has well resonated with not only its core base, but also an older crowd who enjoys their style of UK Rock.  And many of us enjoy the UK Rock sound.

The new album has already met with plenty of UK critical success with several agencies calling the album “unconventional”, and filled with “…Jones’ best work of his career”.

On August 20, the band’s own Stylus Records will give the album its US release.  The US version will retain the UK track-listing (seen below).  There is no word on whether the band will issue the Deluxe Edition version of the album in the states.
