STONE are Fin Power (vocals/guitar), Sarah Surrage (bass), Elliot Gill (lead guitar) and Alex Smith (drums). In true Gen Z fashion, STONE are a diffusion of the limitless cultures and subcultures they've had access to growing up in the digital age.

Self-identifying as 'The underground voice for the lost youth', they blend the thrill of frenetic rock'n'roll with more intimate exploration of the Gen-Z experience, coming of age during a politically fraught time. Grounded by Power's post-punk spoken-vocals, songs like 'Waste' and 'Stupid' race with instrumentational energy, as rewarding to mosh to as they are to emotionally absorb.

A live version of 2020 single 'Leave It Out' marked the band's first moment of online buzz, displaying the kind of pent-up rambunctiousness that shapes their sound. When the pandemic came, they kept the momentum; securing a live agent, they began planning out a meticulous string of festivals and support slots, giving both themselves and new fans alike something to look forward to.

Their formidable live presence has piqued the interest of some of music's biggest stars, also striving to create places where kids can go to let their emotions free. YungBlud personally requested that they join him on his 2021 tour, while Sam Fender had them perform at his Finsbury Park show, streaming their set on his Instagram page. Never ones to waste an opportunity, a recent weekend saw them head to Malaga in between blistering sets at Reading and Leeds 2022 to play Away From Home festival; with a huge audience in attendance, STONE's music resonated just as thoroughly in Spain as it has in the UK, reflecting the universalities of their message.

They're now signed to Polydor, honing their debut EP, and with an Inhaler support tour on the way.
