Pure Noise Records' newest hardcore signing, Milwaukee's STONE, has announced that they will be embarking on a European tour in support of Backtrack. STONE's debut album, Inch of Joy, is due to come out on March 02nd, 2018. You can pre-order it here.
"Lost On You", the first single off "Inch of Joy", is available on YouTube and Spotify. Vocalist Zach Dear had this to say about the song: "Lost On You” is for the people that talk and talk about how much they give a shit about hardcore and at the end of the day, it couldn’t be further from the truth. This dies if you don’t give back what you take from it.”
STONE features former Expire guitarist Zach Dear, along with Marcus Boldt, Jimmy Ladue, Mitch Reitman and Sean Thompson. The band has played shows with Stick To Your Guns, Comeback Kid, & Broken Teeth.
The band’s debut album, Inch of Joy, is a masterclass in hardcore, with elements of metal infused for a ferocious sound that’s destined to be one of the most turbulent and crucial albums from the scene in 2018.
