Yes!! Those are the only 2 albums I own, second album was pretty good but didn't tell the stories the first albums songs that I can relate to being from the valleys!!
@SkexyQ I couldn't agree more! I hate the fact that the band very rarely plays gigs here in Wales anymore, and when it does it's only stadium show gigs, whereas they'd happily do intimate ones in london! I'd give anything to see them play at clwb ifor bach in cardiff, now that'd be intimate!!
@antevans1 iv always thought that, but i can honestly say that hes chiseled his voice to a fine one thru all the years of gigs an he sounds better with age
why is it that it's took so long for ppl to recognise the talent these guys have had as i remember when this album came out and didn't make it even into the top 10 back when i was a young chap in 1997, i knew back then the phonics were one of the best bands we had seen or heard for years, it's about time!! but that album deserved to be no 1 when it was relesed. it's in my top 10 even now!!!
diverdraeger its a shame your in the same league as mr herbert from family guy. Honestly i feel sorry for the people who have the misfortune of interacting with you.

i think it's better that he's still and more for the music, because the vocals are perfect when they perform live, id rather listen to that than watch him dance around the stage and sing completely shit like most of the artists do these days.
MANICS AND PHONICS FUCN GREAT BANDS VERY UNDERATED IM IRISH HAVE TO LISTEN TO BOYZONE AND WEST FUCKIN LIFE THEY HAVN GOT A NOTE IN THERE HEADS RIP STUART CABLE
i agree dude, i seen them in liverpool echo arena, absoleutly amazin!, Ive got a few videos on my channel if you want to have a look. Kellys Phenomenol
i love phonics completely but saw them live and was really dissapointed. dunno why exactly but the crowd was really dull. would of loved to see them at a more picturesque venue like slane castle
i went to see them last december and i kinda agree with u ... crowd did bugger all, and the band didnt do anything spectactular like get the crowd involved in anything
I think thats just the way they are, i mean kelly is quite still when he performs if you know what i mean. I get the feeling theyre more into the music than playing a part for the crowd.
I know what you mean, I've seen them twice at Sheffield Arena. For the most recent gig the crowd were miserable as f***. It was the Friday night before Chrismas and they're sat with arms folded during the 'Vegas 2X' intro FFS! Billy Davey's daughter was one of the highlights of the gig - just Kelly's voice and an acoustic guitar filling a room full of 16,000 people. Tidy!
The first is the best, album talkin!

@MrTinlizzy He is amazing, although for me, the best frontman ever was Jim Morrison. Although I love Kelly.
Seen Phonics live in March at the SECC and they were something else.
