Join StoneWilde as they celebrate the release of their debut single 'Lonely Heart'!
With the heart and passion of Bruce Springsteen and the optimistic outlook of Paul Kelly thrown in with a few anthemic synth hits of War on Drugs, they will certainly keep you engaged.
A brand-new outfit with its boots planted firmly in the indie and alt-country rock tradition, StoneWilde blends heartland grit with soulful storytelling, echoing the likes of Springsteen, Neil Young, and Paul Kelly, with a twist of ragged riffage from the modern day War On Drugs, Sam Fender and Gang Of Youths.
Fronted by Rusty (The Ugly Kings) on vocals and rhythm guitar, the lineup brings together an electric mix of seasoned players: Jake Winter (ex-Winter Moon, now Sordid Ordeal) on searing lead guitar, Ed Hund on keys and harmonies, Aaron Melnyk behind the kit, and Jonathan Jones (Wild Dog Mountains) locking it down on bass. This is a band forged slowly and deliberately—and now the time has come to set it loose.
Joining them will be rowdy punk rockers 'Exiles' who blend gritty post-punk energy with rock 'n' roll swagger and garage rock revivalism and 'K C Walsh' who magically balances the musical fault line that is big 60's country melodies, troubadoric lyricism, and the swirling tones of 90's brit pop and psyche
