“I just grabbed him when I heard how good he was and gave him no choice but to be in my band,” recalls STONE frontman Fin Power of his first meeting with guitarist Elliot Gill. “I said to him from the start, we’re going to make it, trust me, we’ll put all of our eggs in this basket and we won’t fail.’ You know what, that was nine years ago!”
And nine years on, STONE have become slow-motion overnight sensations following two acclaimed ‘punkadonk’ EPs, substantial support from Radio 1, and a raucous, unpredictable live show all building a powerful two-way community between the band and their ever-growing following.
The release of STONE’s eagerly anticipated debut album ‘Fear Life For A Lifetime’ is now on the horizon. It’s a collection of songs which come together like a coming-of-age narrative - a place that can help people navigate the tumultuous experiences of young adulthood. If you’ve felt love but not always felt you deserved it; if you’ve been ambitious but also wracked with self-doubt; if you’ve been confident at times but crushed by anxiety at others: this is the album for you. Just as importantly, if you’ve ever felt like you don’t belong, STONE offer a community that feels like a welcoming home-from-home.
