Recorded in Vermont with renowned producer Rich Costey, Fear Life For A Lifetime is a testament to Stone’s exploration of varied musical landscapes, from post-punk to indie anthems, infused with a raw edge and relatable lyricism. The album promises to be a communal touchstone for listeners navigating the complexities of love, ambition, and self-doubt.
Comprising Elliot Gill on guitar, Sarah Surrage on bass, and Alex Smith on drums, Stone’s journey from an ambitious project to a fully realized band is a testament to their shared vision and tenacity. The addition of Surrage, in particular, brought a new dynamic to the group, solidifying their resolve to succeed without a backup plan.
With a reputation for unforgettable live performances, Stone have already shared stages with notable acts like Sam Fender and Yungblud and graced festivals from Glastonbury to Reading and Leeds. Their ability to forge genuine connections with fans post-show highlights their commitment to the surrounding community.
As Fear Life For A Lifetime beckons, Stone are poised to leave an indelible mark on the music landscape, inviting listeners into their vividly painted world of introspection and communal belonging. With the album now available for pre-order and a series of intimate in-store performances announced, the stage is set for Stone’s ascendancy.
