Album Notes & Community Reviews

Capturing vivid, highly relatable vignettes of working-class Welsh life, the trio's debut album struck a massive chord in the waning days of Britpop. Kelly Jones's gritty, passionate vocals and their straightforward, driving guitar hooks established them as dominant forces in the UK alternative rock mainstream.
