I'm not kidding when I say we are big fans of Stereophonics here at W♥M, personally I've seen the band a few times: their co-headlining tour with The Charlatans on 04/04/2000, an acoustic show at the 400 Bar on 02/14/2001, and the Fine Line Music Café on 11/30/2003. Their last show in Minneapolis was in 2005, which I did not attend, but that's still nearly a decade that the band's been absent here! So it's my pleasure to announced that Stereophonics will be returning to the U.S. in support of their eighth studio album called Graffiti on a Train (Stylus Records). The album was previously mentioned here, which, at the time of the writing, the album was just released in the UK. The album has done well, quickly hitting Gold status and on its way to Platinum!
