AVRIL
Self professed skate rocker Avril Lavigne's 2002 debut album 'Let Go' has reportedly now sold 14 million albums worldwide and created at the age of 17 that is sure phenomenal! She was always a star in the making. Her youthful, infectious songs co-written by herself with Canada's matrix production team, (whom she reportedly split with!), have certainly set the world alight and have been all over radio in recent years.

The album contains the hits 'Complicated', ‘Sk8er Boi' and 'I'm With You' and at last years Brits she really blew the audience away with her energetic performance incorporating 20 drum sets!

Stereophonics

STEREOPHONICS
Originally a covers band from Cwmaman, Wales, Stereophonics have grown into one of the UK's most popular rock bands. Formed in the mid 1990s by Kelly Jones (vocals/guitar), Richard Jones (bass) and Stuart Cable (drums), Stereophonics became the first band to be signed by Richard Branson's new V2 label in august 1996.

Their first hit single, "Local Boy In A Photograph", was swiftly followed by their debut album "Word Gets Around" and by the beginning of 1997 Stereophonics had picked up the BRIT Award for Best New Group.

Returning the following year with the hugely popular single "The Bartender & The Thief", the band quickly released their next album, "Performance & Cocktails"., which established their reputation as a no-nonsense, heads-down rock band.

After a run-in with car manufacturers Daimler-Chrysler who owned the name Jeep, Stereophonics were forced to re-name their third album "Just Enough Eductaion to Perform" instead of the original title "J.E.E.P."

And then things went slightly awry. Within a month of releasing their 2003 album "You Gotta Go There To Come Back" , the band fired founding member, drummer Stuart Cable, with Kelly Jones citing Cable's alleged "...commitment issues" as the reason for the split. After briefly replacing him with ex-Black Crowes drummer Steve Gorman, the band setteled on Argentinian sticksman Javier Weyler as they readied themselves to record their fifth album, 2005 "Language. Sex. Violence. Other." Upon its release, the album yielded Stereophonics' first Number 1 single in the form of "Dakota".
