Stereophonics 'forced to write better songs'

Stereophonics have claimed that music fans are less likely to download full albums than they used to be.

The group, who released new LP Keep Calm And Carry On on Monday, admitted that there is now more pressure to write better songs.

"Because people are only buying singles, it makes you up your game on the writing front," singer Kelly Jones told the Daily Star.

"They just download one or two tracks from an album but rock 'n' roll bands are usually more about the album than the single."

The group recently insisted that the music industry has radically changed since they started and revealed that they have embraced social networking sites to promote their music.
