Stereophonics, a Welsh rock band from Cwmaman, are known for brash guitar rock and alt-pop anthems. Fronted by Kelly Jones, they gained fame with "Performance and Cocktails" in 1999. Their first album "Word Gets Around" reached the UK Top Ten, and they've had eight number-one albums, including "Oochya!" in 2022. They've collaborated with drummers like Jamie Morrison and received a Brit Award for Best New Group. Popular tracks include "Local Boy in the Photograph" and "The Bartender and the Thief."

Blossoms, a Stockport quintet, combines Brit-pop and indie rock with catchy synth-forward tunes. Known for "Charlemagne" and "Foolish Loving Spaces," they topped U.K. charts and sold out venues. The band collaborated with Rick Astley in 2023.
