From New Orleans. On Tour W/ Creed This Spring.

Photographer: Sean Murphy.
Wind-Up Entertainment struck gold with Creed, and the label has made post-grunge rock its signature sound ever since. The trend continues with this eponymous debut from 12 Stones. The New Orleans natives perfectly combine the melodic intervention of Three Doors Down with a sense of dramatic dynamics right out of Nickelback's bag of tricks. It's all held together by soaring vocals -- akin to a more polished version of (four more stones) Gavin Rossdale -- that will sound oh so perfect coming out of a radio speaker, along with more technical axe-work, particularly in the soloing, than the more commercial fare usually has. When you throw in a solid mix courtesy of producer Jay Baumgardner (Drowning Pool, Papa Roach) that accentuates all of the hit-making potential of tracks such as "Open Your Eyes," lead single "Broken," and the tribal "Soulfire," 12 Stones seems to be a can't-miss prospect from start to finish. ~ Brian O'Neill
Whereas groups like Staind move in a linear fashion from full-on rockers to ruminative power ballads, the four young men of 12 Stones instead take a page from the book of Nirvana, unabashedly moving back and forth between depth-charge nu-metal and melodic, contemplative moods within the space of a single song. In fact, this is the modus operandi for the lion's share of the songs on the band's self-titled debut album. Judging from the chart placing of 12 STONES it seems that the gambit worked in a big way. And why not? With such songs as "Crash" and "Back Up" those who appreciate the heavy stuff and the mellower mode in equal measure can have their cake and eat it too. Just don't get any of that cake on the band's rug, because judging from the piercing attack of those grinding guitars, they know how to administer the proverbial beatin'.

I've known about 12 stones for a while but I never thought about the album intill I've heard the Evanescence. Home is a real powerful song right now. Open your eyes which is about seeing the joy that you don't really see somewhat did "open my eyes".

VH1 Presents The Corrs Live In Dublin CD  (2002)

The Corrs: Jim Corr (vocals, guitar, keyboards); Sharon Corr (vocals, violin); Andrea Corr (vocals, tin whistle); Caroline Corr (vocals, drums, bodhran, percussion).
Recorded at Ardmore Studios in Dublin, Ireland in January 2002.
You knew the Corrs had made it when they played the final JFK Awards ceremony of the Clinton administration. Playing it would have been achievement enough, but their status as a happening thing was cemented at the end of the ceremony, during the encores, when everybody was taking their final bows. Bill moseyed up over to Andrea, put his arm around her, and when she was looking away, sized her up -- at precisely the same moment Chuck Berry was checking her out. If that doesn't mean that you've broken America, entering its pop culture, I don't know what does, expect for maybe a VH1-endorsed piece of product like Live in Dublin. Lo and behold, that's exactly what the Corrs received in the spring of 2002, a year and a half after "In Blue" and its accompanying single "Breathless" ...

12 Stones Potter's Field CD  (2004)

12 Stones
CD $7.59  4 stars Audio Samples
12 Stones: Paul McCoy (vocals); Greg Trammell, Eric Weaver (guitar); Aaron Gainer (drums, background vocals).
12 Stones' sophomore effort aims to capitalize on the recognition brought by Paul McCoy's memorable chorus cameo in the Evanescence monster hit "Bring Me to Life." It opts for a more powerful, guitar-heavy sound than their 2002 debut, and demands maximum radio-friendly compression from returning producer/mixer Dave Fortman. This approach should make thick-stemmed rockers like "Speak Your Mind" and "Far Away" quite palatable to loud rock audiences, or at least those who want more from the Creed fallout than Alter Bridge. For that's what 12 Stones offers -- urgent post-grunge rockers that follow a distinct and marketable formula. Loud lead riffs balance on introspective verses, which then burst into elegiac and/or bittersweet chorus melodies that get the hands ...

Jesus was the most popular (posthumously at least) underdog in history, so it comes as no surprise that CCM band 12 Stones would devote their third album to that aspect of His divinity. What does surprise, however, is the almost prog-rock complexity that such a simple sentiment inspires. With interesting guitar leads that explore all the possibilities of the bottom strings, and almost symphonic codas and bridges, the title track leaps out and sets the stage for the monster riffs and sophisticated ideas to follow. The other stand-out track is the power ballad ...

Liner Note Authors: Joshua Bertram; Chaz Knapp.
Recording information: 09/2005-01/2006.
You can't fault Our Brother the Native for trying to make the best of this album. The fact that the band created this debut record before even meeting as a group should definitely raise eyebrows, though, and the trio has created one of the more bizarre, disjointed, fragmented, and at times boring pieces of music you've probably heard. The album starts off on a promising note with "Introduction -- Welcome to the Aviary," which sounds like a cross between Devendra Banhart and children skipping rope to a Syd Barrett nursery rhyme. But after those precious few moments, the song peters out quickly. "Apodiformes" is a faster, uptempo tune before spacy vocals and effects come in and out of the subtle folk-pop song. It contains a childlike delivery with some interesting accents that seems to make it work, with good but not great results. The songs are promising to start, particularly the light, airy Floyd-ian feel that oozes from "Falconiformes." The song's Southern-tinted vocals give it a warm, earthy feel. But it then devolves into something quite weird, with high-pitched female vocals coming into the mix. Early on, the listener realizes this might work in a live setting with film accompanying ...

Book Of Diamonds
Jeannette Claudine Romeu aka Ga Book Of Diamonds CD  (2002)

12 Stones
CD $12.69
Jeannette Claudine Romeu is the fifth generation of her Classical and Jazz musical family. Her deep, rooted discipline came from early childhood. When Jeannette was three years old, she studied Classical piano, first with her grandmother Zenaida Romeu and later she attended Russian Music conservatories all throughout her childhood. Jeannette gave her first Baroque, classical piano concert, (Minuets from the music of Johann Sebastian Bach ) when she was four years old, and that was the time when Jeannette also learned and discovered the love for writing her own music compositions. Jeannette was also four when she started to record LIVE and sang professionally in Television with TV orchestras. These were songs she acted and performed in the Spanish, English and in the French language.The rich melange of her French / Cuban / Spanish/ Portuguese backgrounds are an intense influence in her music and unique artistic evolution. Her father Armando de Sequeira Romeu was the Jazz drummer for the "Unforgettable" Nat King Cole. He was and still is another great and very important Jazz influence in Jeannette's musical career.Jeannette Claudine also leaved in Madrid, Spain where she continued her classical piano training as well as the classical guitar. Jeannette always made good use of her many talents and made tremendous amounts of songs that always came from within with a natural flow. After living in Europe she came to New York City and later entered The University of Miami majoring in Jazz Piano Performance, minoring in Classical Piano and Voice. Her teachers were: J.B. Dyas, Don Militello, Rosalina Sackstein, Vincent Lawrence De Maggio, Don Coffman, Jeff Laibson, Jazz virtuoso Nat Adderley and his great Jazz Piano virtuoso Larry Willis. Here at the U of M she was a National Honor Student who received many Music awards including The Golden ...
