‘ALL IN TIME’ –  

STONE BROKEN

 

Given that The Aged Rocker is getting together with the band at their Manchester gig, a few thoughts on Stone Broken’s debut album are definitely in order. A constant soundtrack in the car and on the hifi back at home, Stone Broken’s new CD ‘All in Time’ confirms and substantiates the band’s increasing number of accolades. In the usual course of things, most rock bands would build up to an album of this quality, usually their second or third offering confirming their style and true abilities. 

 

 

First track on the CD, from the moment their current single ‘Not Your Enemy’ kicks in; all ten songs maintain the band’s relentless enthusiasm, the momentum running from beginning to end. Not bad really when you consider that the four members only came together in 2013 when two Wallsall bands effectively came together, this energetic combination along with lead singer Rich Moss’ voice instantly generating a force to be reckoned with.

To pick out any particular song would be wrong, each one different, each one telling its own individual story although the almost Cajun intro of ‘Be There’ gives no hint as to the music ahead whilst the sentiments of ‘Another Day’ are represent a lesson we could all take inspiration from. What I will say is that Robyn Haycock’s relentless beats, Chris Davis’ lead guitar riffs along with the bass lines generated by Kieron Conroy never fail. Whether new to the scene or been around for years, there’s plenty of other bands around that could learn more than a few things from these four Midlands based rockers.

 

 

And just for a change no covers, all ten tracks written by the band which means they had control over just how each individual song was interpreted. Produced by Romesh Dodangoda, Stone Broken have also taken the road less traveled by not signing to a label, the only way to get your hands on the album being via their website www.stonebroken.com. In other words, no external fiddling or messing with a sound so mature you’d think it had been around for ages.

 

 

Look out for The Aged Rocker’s exclusive interview and show coverage. If their live shows are half as good as their new album, then it’s guaranteed to be something rather special.
