Bio:
Stone Broken are a 4 piece Hard Rock band from Walsall, UK.Debut album 'All In Time' was released on 29th Jan 2016.Huge sound, big choruses, arena rock.There’s an unwavering conviction running through Stone Broken’s Spinefarm Records debut, Ain’t Always Easy; the notion of taking a leap of faith in order to grab control of one’s own destiny, seizing precious moments and living your very best life, with no apologies or regrets. It’s a philosophy close to the heart of Stone Broken frontman Rich Moss, and a credo which fuels the band’s desire to take on the world with their music.At the beginning of the decade, Moss had abandoned his life-long dream of becoming a professional musician, following the tragic death of a former bandmate who suffered from alcohol addiction. Years spent poring over guitar magazines, practising in his bedroom and playing gigs around the Black Country and the West Midlands were filed away as memories, as Wolverhampton-born Moss built a successful career as an analyst. Yet the idea that there must be more to life persisted. In 2013, after four years away from music, he formed Stone Broken with guitarist Chris Davis, bassist Kieron Conroy and long-time musical soulmate Robyn Haycock on drums – the four of them determined and willing to make sacrifices in pursuit of their dreams. “The very first song I wrote for this band is called ‘This Life’ and it’s about taking what you’re good at and using it as a vehicle to move forward, because you only have one shot at life,” says Moss. “We all came into this band a lot more mature and with a greater understanding of the industry, and we agreed between us there should be no half-measures.” The group’s first declaration of intent came with 2014’s self-financed, self-released EP, The Crow Flies, a calling card largely intended to secure local gigs. But it was the release, in January 2016, of debut album All In Time which truly amplified the word-of-mouth buzz around the band from a whisper to a scream. With Kerrang! Radio and Planet Rock picking up on storming opening track ‘Not Your Enemy’, the anthemic ‘Let Me Go’ and ‘Stay All Night’, plus the bruised and beautiful ‘Wait For You’, an ever-expanding audience was alerted to the fact that here was an emerging British outfit with the riffs, the choruses and songwriting smarts to make its mark on the global stage.
Album:
Stone Broken is an English band from Walsall. The band members are Rich Moss, voice and guitar, Chris Davis, guitar and voice, Kieron Conroy on bass and Robyn Haycock on drums. Their first album, All in Time, dates from early 2016. It was already representative of what the band can offer : powerful and melodic. For their second album, Ain't Always Easy, you will have to wait until March 2, 2018. But not for everyone because I have already been able to listen to this album with a "desertic" sleeve and 11 titles.What is interesting to note, at least for me, is that there are very varied titles. There are hot songs like the single Worth Fighting For, pretty stoner rock, with very aggressive guitars. All in a melodic spirit. Same motive, same punishment for the second title Let Me See It All. Nothing revolutionary but the rock'n'roll spirit reigns in master. The guitars are pleasant, as is the voice of Rich Moss that varies from one title to another. In the same register that can offer their colleagues from Broken Witt Rebels, another English group, for example. Heartbeat Away also oscillates between stoner and melodic with always excellent guitars and a powerful rhythmic but silky.Change of style with Home, mid-rock, mid-ballad, a bit like some American bands can propose, Seether for instance. Pleasant. Follow Me is a little punchy but still melodic, Rich Moss still doing a good job behind his microphone. Custom made for your car radio. Nice start for I Believe, then big guitars, Robyn Haycock felling a big job behind her drums. Stone Broken never loses sight of the melodic, typically American side. Doesn't Matter is on the same mold, big guitars and huge chorus.I love Anyone with its mid tempo, the guitars calming down a bit. It can be listened to on radio without problem. A beautiful moment. After a little respite, the big guitars come back, Just A Memory offers us quite nervous verses and a melodic chorus with always an excellent Rich Moss. Between stoner rock and Journey. The combination is very pleasant. Other Side of Me conforms to the album, a tone below nevertheless.The Need Thing I Need closes the album in a melodic tone. The guitars are quiet, offering rock flirting to FM rock. The solo is invigorating.In the end, eleven friendly tracks, for an album that is a great surprise for me. Everything is coherent, without apparent weakness. I love to listen to music in my car, it's the ideal album. Stone Broken will tour in Great britain with Jared James Nichols and The Bad Flowers in February and March 2018. A date is scheduled March 16 at the Forum de Vaureal near Paris.
