Band Members: Paul McCoy, Eric Weaver, Kevin Dorr, Aaron Gainer

For 12 STONES, rural Mandeville, Louisiana provided the environment that brought the band together and groomed a sound that mirrors the best of Modern Rock while tipping its hat to elements indigenous to Mandeville and the rural Deep South. Though the members of 12 STONES are young in years, they are undeniably robust with songwriting prowess and musical ability. The bands debut is powerful and aggressive, but at the same time seething with anthemic qualities and melody that surely will enrapture listeners upon first listen. The offering is unconditionally impressive when considering three of the four band members are under 21 years old.
