Album
Keep Calm and Carry On
Keep Calm and Carry On is the seventh studio album by the Welsh rock band Stereophonics, released in November 2009. Its title comes from the British Second World War poster of the same name. It followed Pull the Pin and came before Graffiti on the Train in the band's run of records.
It was the first of their studio albums to feature guitarist Adam Zindani as a permanent member, so it marks a small change in the group's make-up. It entered the UK Albums Chart at number 11, and early buyers could unlock extra material on the band's website, including a track-by-track walkthrough, a welcome message, photoshoot footage and live audio of "You're My Star" and "I Stopped to Fill My Car Up". A good one for fans who like to follow the band's story album by album.
