Stereophonics – Graffiti On The Train

A true lesson in songwriting

Kelly Jones’ poetic ethic has always been the vocal point of the entire Stereophonics era, and this remains identical on studio album number eight, ‘Graffiti On The Train’. The personification of even the most mundane objects is as crisp as it ever has been. Everything about the record restores the belief that Stereophonics can remain relevant in a world of troubadours and try-hard indie bands. ‘Violins & Tambourines’ stands like a giant above others, a true lesson in songwriting.
