Artist description Raucous, manic, aggressive, energetic, angry and exciting. Welcome to the world of STONE CODA. Fronted by vocalist/guitarist Leroy Buckley, with brother Aly on bass and drummer Jason Panudy, this powerful UK trio have fused a host of trans-Atlantic influences into a rocket-fuelled assault on the senses, which will leave you breathless! Imagine, if you will, a melting pot of monster riffs, high energy and stabbing emotion. Think Foo Fighters meets Rage Against The Machine and you’ll be heading in the right direction. In their element on stage, the trio produce a wall of sound, which leaves you confounded by their 3-piece status. A full on guitar assault one moment, a dynamic dip the next. Songs focus on a whole range of human emotions and experiences, all with a trademark, cynical, tongue-in-cheek twist that belies the trios love of irony and fatefulness of life.STONE CODA recently launched their debut single ‘Beautiful Yet Brutal’ through Silent Hope Productions and will be playing selective shows across the UK, and beyond, during the coming months.

Music Style Alternative Rock

Musical Influences Numerous, include Pearl Jam, Nirvana, Tori Amos, Def Leppard

Artist History INSPIRATION – NAME AND STYLE If anyone has ever been in a band they will know the absolute nightmare task of choosing a name for your band. Getting everyone to agree that “this” is the name your going to be known as from now on ain’t as easy as it seems. You think “give us half on hour and we’ll think of something really cool”. But as the minutes, hours and days go by a bundle of names have been mentioned, with nothing more of an “ it’s ok I suppose “. Of course you think it’s the best band name ever thought of, but your band mates tend not to agree. So the saga continues… When we decided on the name STONE CODA, we did actually have a list of about 10 names we liked, so we basically checked out each name for availability. (no point calling yourself something a hundred other bands are called). We wanted a name that reflected who the band were and what we’re about. So down to business. Without trying to bore you with details a CODA is sometimes used in a piece of hand written music. It’s the section that ends a song, particularly if you want the ending to be different from the rest of the piece. And STONE, well…pretty explanatory. We’re just really saying that STONE CODA is the last part of our musical journey, hopefully to last us for the rest of our lives. As a unit we’re very content. We work together really well and “think” we’re producing something really good. And if the “fans” out there continue to get into the music then there’s nothing to stop us building on the success we’re already having. And we’re that tight a unit it’s set in stone. If we’re successful, we’re going to be around for a long time. As for inspiration of our style, that’s quite simple. We’re simply into a lot of the new bands at the moment. We think there’s a lot of good stuff getting played and a lot of good bands. Our hearts will always lie in playing rock/alternative music because that’s what we listen too. I’m not saying that’s ALL we listen too because that simply isn’t true. Our tastes are quite diverse, from R.A.T.M to Tori Amos. I really like Alanis, Elvis, The Beatles, Country and classical and Jason (drummer) likes some of the rocking dance tunes. But we all have copies of Linkin Park, System of a down, Pearl Jam, Limp Bitzkit, Blink 182, Sum 41 etc in our CD collection. We never try to sound like anyone but we’re all influenced in everything we do. Basically you don’t get a better felling than thrashing out some rocking tune and watching the crown really getting off on it. So there we are We’ll be releasing 3 singles over the next year in association with SILENT HOPE. They will be made available through the web site, other music web sites and at gigs etc. These are just the first steps of the STONE CODA journey. There are gig’s being booked as we speak, the single is going out to radio stations around the world, there’ll be a lot of press about the band soon in local and industry magazines. Interest in the web sites is growing by the day with more and more hit’s especially to www.teamstonecoda.com Leroy STONE CODA singer/guitarist
