Description:

Stereophonics' 12th album "Oocha! The Stereophonics are one of the country's most successful rock bands of the past 25 years, with seven of their 11 albums reaching number one in the UK Albums Chart and selling over 8.5 million albums in the UK alone. Their first album in two and a half years and twelfth original album "Oocha! (Oocha!). In Japan, it is the first time in six and a half years since the release of their ninth album "Keep The Village Alive" (Keep The Village Alive) in 2015 that they have returned to Sony Music for a release. Released on the occasion of the 25th anniversary of their debut last year, "Hanging On Your Hinges" is a diverse collection of songs, "Wucha! is a poignant rock 'n' roll number that will thrill fans prior to the release of "Woocher! With distorted vocals and rough-hewn guitars, this song brings Kelly Jones' love of garage rock to life for the first time in a long time, and is reminiscent of the band's loudest days. It is truly an optimistic and defiant roar that harkens back to what they do best. Says frontman Kelly Jones (vo/g), ""Hanging On" is a return to the band's best days of optimism and defiance. I think "Hanging On Your Hinges" has a little bit of my love of early ZZ Top, a little bit of my love of the darker Masters of Reality stuff, and a little bit of Iggy Pop. And maybe a touch of The Bartender and the Thief era.More than anything else, I wanted to be the first song fans heard on the album that claimed to be "Wucha!" I wanted to give the fans a first listen to a song that was on an album that claimed to be "Wucha!" above all else. After the very emotion-driven and introspective songs on the last album, "Kind," I decided to put out something that would be a bit more guttural, something that would allow the fans to loosen up a little bit. The title of the album is a phrase that me and the band used to use in the studio, meaning "Let's do it! It means "Let's do it! It's a very emotional album. It's a pretty emotional album, and there are parts that are very nostalgic. The whole album is melodic. It's one of those albums where once you start playing it, you don't want to stop, because different styles keep coming out one after another. The album title is a concise, sharp explosion of color and rebellious attitude, perfectly complemented by a pop art album cover that is unlike anything they have ever done before. The "Wucha!" 's previous album, "Kind," debuted at #1 on the UK Albums Chart in 2019, selling over 10,000 more copies than runner-up Kanye West.
