Stereophonics堪称是衔接Brit-Pop再显光彩的主要生力军，在喧嚣激昂力道中，振奋日渐疲软的英国乐坛。有着「英伦摇滚超级救世主乐团」、「英伦国民摇滚乐团」等美誉的Stereophonics，稳固英国90年代后期摇滚市场的重要地位，与Oasis、Blur等团平起平坐，再再缔造摇滚历史新页，延续英伦摇滚薪火新神话！
被冠上「韦尔斯王子」名号的主唱兼吉他手Kelly Jones、贝斯手Richard Jones两位携手闯荡至今的好伙伴，加上历经Stuart Cable、前Black Crowes鼓手Steve Goman担任巡回演出鼓手一职，以及现在第三任阿根廷籍鼓手Javier Weyler等三人简单机制，把玩出最不简单的音乐触感。陆续发行『Word Gets Around』(1997)、『Performance And Cocktails』(1999)、『Just Enough Education To Perform』(2001)、『You Gotta Go There To Come Back』(2003)、『Language. Sex. Violence. Other?』(2005)、『Pull The Pin』(2007)等六张畅销专辑，其中五张皆夺下英国金榜冠军，然而『Just Enough Education To Perform』发行第39周后，反冲英国专辑金榜桂冠并蝉连三周榜首，创下英国流行音乐史上，同一张专辑发行后相隔近十个月再度夺冠的卓越成就。
Stereophonics汇集所有能量与迷醉人心的情歌特质，以首张完整精选特辑【Decade In The Sun: Best Of Stereophonics】，回顾这一路走来的辉煌足迹，为十周年画下完美惊叹号，更期待下一个璀璨十年的到来！
One of those British phenomena that has stayed distinctly provincial -- talk all you want about Oasis or Blur never cracking the U.S. charts, Stereophonics never came close, never even managing to cobble together a cult of college students or Anglophiles -- Stereophonics managed to carve out a nice living as workaday rockers in the post-Oasis age. They were guitar rock traditionalists in the time when Radiohead and their happy followers Coldplay ruled British rock, marching just outside of the Zeitgeist but appealing to thousands anyway, probably because they never tried to compete with Radiohead's spacy explorations. Instead, Stereophonics adapted the anthemic roar of their Welsh forefathers Manic Street Preachers, substituting the Manics' Guns N' Roses fascination with a love of Nirvana, and then made big arena rock, tempered slightly with rambling acoustic singalongs straight out of Oasis and vague electronica-flavored pop. All this is chronicled on Decade in the Sun: The Best of Stereophonics, the group's first hits compilation and one that traces its evolution effectively, if not quite entertainingly. Decade in the Sun is too comprehensive to be entertaining, as it drags its heels over 20 tracks that all sound huge and hookless to those listeners not subjected to these tunes as part of the general cultural fabric. For British listeners, this is a good sampling of what they heard in the background for a decade, but Decade in the Sun winds up convincing anybody outside of the U.K. that there are some perfectly good reasons why Stereophonics never translated across the Atlantic. [Decade in the Sun was also released in a two-disc, 40-track Deluxe Edition.]
