Stereophonics headlining the first ever RiZE Festival (Alberto Pezzali / Live4ever)
Stereophonics have released a standalone single entitled Chaos From The Top Down and are embracing some serious lyrical themes on their first new material since 2017’s Scream Above The Sounds.
Kelly Jones told NME the song is the ‘imagined perspective of a 15-year-old boy laying in the road after being shot’. “He’s reflecting in his time of dying about his life and the choices he made through the lack of options and opportunities he felt he had in today’s Britain,” he said.
“It also touches on the tags and labels that have been stuck on him. The stereotypes and clichés that were placed on him. It’s based on a true story that happened just outside my street. It’s happening everywhere.”
Spring brings Forest Live shows for Stereophonics in Tetbury and Brandon, while on July 11th they’ll return to Swansea for a gig at Singleton Park 20 years on from the Morfa Stadium appearance at the height of Performance & Cocktails’ success.
