Editor Katie Warkin's 6-9-2021
Stereophonics are back with a new single ‘Hanging On Your Hinges’. This single is there first to be unveiled from there forthcoming album ‘Oochya!’, released on 4th March 2022.
Kelly Jones was reported saying: “‘Hanging On Your Hinges’ was influenced by his love of early ZZ Top and darker stuff like Masters of Reality (and maybe some Iggy Pop too).
Oochya!’ follows Stereophonics’ previous album ‘Kind’, which went to Number One in the UK ofiicial album charts in 2019, outselling nearest competitor Kanye West by over 10,000 copies according to the official charts company.
As the band celebrate their 25th year, ‘Hanging On Your Hinges’ is a gloriously unshackled palette cleanser for fans ahead of the multifaceted, ‘Oochya!’. With distorted question-and-answer vocals and scuzzed up guitars, it’s a song that harks back to some of the band’s loudest moments, drawing on Kelly Jones’ love of garage rock. After 18 months of lockdown, ‘Hanging On Your Hinges’ is an optimistic yet defiant howl as the band get back to doing what they do best.
It also became the band’s 7th UK Number One album in the process. The release of ‘Oochya!’ will also see the Welsh rockers return to the road for what’s sure to be another eagerly anticipated sold out UK arena tour. Kicking off at Manchester Arena on 18th March 2022, the 11 date tour reaches The O2 London on 1st April and culminates at the Birmingham Resorts World Arena on 2nd April.
