Wind-Up
has done it again. It seems that 12 Stones has what it takes
to be one of the biggest bands; hard rock grooves, boy band
looks, and a good marketing team at Wind-Up behind them.
12
Stones self titled album, due out in late April, produced
and mixed by Jay Baumgardner (drowning pool, coal chamber,
and more) will be huge and they will be everywhere. Making
this year a great year for Wind-Up records. First with Creed's
release and then with these guys.
This
band is just straight up hard-rock with some attitude. From
the get go, you have a sense of how talented these guys are
and finding out that their sound has some very catchy riffs
and vocals.
Their
first single 'Broken", due to hit radio here soon, very
catchy riff packed tune. The guitar riff reminds me alittle
of early Creed. Then out of no where, you get some attitude
through some growling, not over powering but definitely adding
some good tone to the song.
Album
not even out yet, no one to judge it but us, these guys make
it on a soundtrack. "My Life" will be on the upcoming
movie "The Scorpion King". "My Life" is
going to be another reason this band getting big. Groove filled
song with great vocals again. Perfect band in a perfect stop.
This
cd has 'radio hits' written all over it.
The
only thing holding this back is the fact that there are too
many of these types of bands out. They might just get mixed
in, but you never know.
Creed, Finger Eleven, Breaking Point, and any hard rock lovers,
definitely get this album. No Regrets.
