The Connells, the American alt-rock band, released "Stone Cold Yesterday" as a single from One Simple Word, their fourth album, which came out in October 1990, and it climbed to number 3 on Billboard's Modern Rock Tracks chart, well ahead of the album's other charting single, "Get a Gun", which stopped at 24. Mike Connell and Doug MacMillan wrote it, and Hugh Jones produced.
Trouser Press judged One Simple Word the band's tightest, catchiest effort yet, and the least wimpy.
