“STONE CIRCLE is everything you’d want an Australian rock band to be: hard working, passionate, not too self-conscious.” (Chris Martin – Spaceship news)
“Front man Jeremy Harris led the band through a great set of polished melodic rock. Scott Howe’s lead guitar soared throughout the songs and in Craig Skelton and Derrin Kee they have a rhythm section the equal of any other in this town. Through ballads ‘Gero Love Song’ and ‘Lost’ and ballsy rockers ‘Transparent’ and ‘Living for the Sunshine’, Stone Circle never failed to impress for a moment.” (Shane Pinnegar – The Rockpit.net)
Stone Circle came kicking and screaming into the world in July 2008. Months after forming, this power quartet from Perth, Western Australia performed at the after party for Def Leppard’s Australian tour. Stone Circle continues to push the new wave of Australian rock music having performed alongside the Galvatrons, End of Fashion and Something With Numbers. Refusing to be pigeonholed, they also display a diversity which has enabled them to support such iconic Australian artists as Daryl Braithwaite, Jon Stevens and Joe Camilleri.
Stone Circle spent 2009 focussed on song writing and pre-production. Their full length independent release ‘Living for the Sunshine’ was recorded in the first half of 2010 at Crank Recordings in Perth and mastered by Leon Zervos at Studios 301 in Sydney.
Stone Circle is a rock band. Their songs are powerful and melodic, drawn from a vast array of influences and genres. It’s the attitude, mentality and approach of artists like Queen, Led Zeppelin, Van Halen, Bon Jovi, Robbie Williams and U2 that drives and inspires them.
Live, Stone Circle are tight, passionate and energetic. Their enthusiasm is as contagious as their riffs and it is this foundation that sees Stone Circle consistently deliver larger than life performances to an ever growing legion of fans. It is these performances that have propelled Stone Circle into the popular consciousness, secured a second place in the coveted competition to support Bon Jovi, and have the band labelled ‘a true homage to the spirit of rock’ by Mix 94.5FM’s the Big Couch
2011 will see the official launch of ‘Living for the Sunshine’ followed by extensive touring and promotion throughout Australia and overseas.
