Sterephonics reveal new single from upcoming album 'Oochya'

I always look forward to new music from Kelly (who I interviewed for the J.E.E.P. album) and the band. Read more below...

Welsh rockers Sterephonics return with a new album, Oochya, next March. The first single is "Hanging on Your Hinges." The album can be pre-ordered on CD, double heavyweight LP and exclusive colored vinyl.

In a prepared statement, frontman Kelly Jones said, “‘Hanging On Your Hinges’ was influenced by my love of early ZZ Top and darker stuff like Masters of Reality and maybe some Iggy Pop too, and probably nods back to ‘Bartender & The Thief’. It’s the song on this album that says ‘Oochya!’ more than anything else, so it’s something we wanted the fans to hear first. Having done some really emotionally lead and songs on the last album (‘Kind’), we decided to come back with a bang this time, give the fans something to get a little loose to. The album title (‘Oochya!’) was always a saying me and the band used in the studio to mean “let’s have it”—a blast of energy and optimism and that’s what we wanted to
get across with ‘Hinges’."

Oochya! follows Stereophonics’ previous album, Kind, which went to Number One in the UK album charts in 2019. It became the band’s 7th UK Number One album in the process. The release of Oochya! will also see the group return to the road for another eagerly anticipated sold out UK Arena tour. Kicking off at Manchester Arena on March 18, 2022, the 11-date tour reaches The O2 London on April 1 and culminates at The Birmingham Resorts World Arena on April 2.

Stereophonics also return to Wales for a very special show “We’ll Keep A Welcome" on Saturday, December 18, 2021, as they headline the Cardiff Principality Stadium with very special guests Tom Jones and Catfish & The Bottlemen. Having previously headlined the stadium in 2001 and 2003, the band return in 2021 for a special end-of-year celebration.

As Stereophonics celebrate 25 years, Kelly Jones continues to cement his place amongst the great British songwriters with seven #1 albums, 10 top 10 albums, 23 Platinum Sales Awards, 8.5 million albums sold in the UK alone, five BRIT nominations and one BRIT Award win.
