Stereophonics - Keep the Village Alive [Deluxe Edition] (2015)

Welsh band Stereophonics are back with their ninth studio album called 'Keep the Village Alive', the title of which is inspired by hardworking men and women who toiled in factories during the week and then let their hair down at weekends by partying.

Keep the Village Alive is the upcoming ninth studio album by Welsh rock band Stereophonics. Set to be released on 11 September 2015, it will be produced by lead-singer and guitarist Kelly Jones along with Jim Lowe. It's intended to be the second of two album volumes with its predecessor being the first. It's the first album that will feature Jamie Morrison who joined during the production of Graffiti on the Train in 2012.

During the writing process for the band's previous album, Kelly Jones had written forty song ideas and thirty of these were recorded and completed. With the intention of releasing an album trilogy, the band decided against this idea after Green Day released their ¡Uno! ¡Dos! ¡Tré! series, instead planning to release another album with ten songs. Tracks from these sessions were included in Keep the Village Alive, though these track names are not stated. Stereophonics had finished their Graffiti on the Train Tour on 28 November 2013 and in late February 2014 they went into the studio to start working on the album.
