Global anxiety reflected in new Stereophonics album Scream Above The Sounds

20 years after their debut record, Stereophonics are to release their tenth studio album. Frontman Kelly Jones reflects on the new music and why it took him seven years to write a song about childhood friend - and the band's former drummer - Stuart Cable, who died in 2010.

On the morning of September 15, Stereophonics frontman Kelly Jones was dropping his eldest daughter at their local tube station in Parsons Green, west London. Ten minutes after he departed, helicopters, armed police, firefighters and ambulances descended on the station when an improvised explosive device detonated on a District line train.

Jones, 43, has described that day as "weird, insane, surreal". And while the band's latest album Scream Above The Sounds - finished almost a year ago - doesn't directly reference that incident, it is certainly informed by recent terror attacks piercing the music world.
