Full of guitar effected riffery, throbbing rhythm section and power vocals, SandStone have reproduced/captured that popular rock sound that the USA stole from the Brits in the eighties with accomplished musical aplomb. Not only do they turn on the excitement, they have got an original sound to go with it, winning accolades at every live gig for their accomplished performances this Northern Irish rock outfit release there debut album in Febuary and the world awaits with baited breath for the success to follow.

The album opens with the lamentful tune 'America' decent politically charged lyrics and some fret running guitar. In the second song the band keep the feel of power ballad but increase the axe work to a fitting quantity. The third track brings forth a classic power ballad with perfection of vocals, lyrics and emotion dripped guitars - now the band have displayed their intellectual nous. Track 4 'building castles' increases the tempo and beefs up the skins, while the guitars start to twinkle and shine.
Track 5 continues the hard rocking melodies with squealing guitars and head nodding rhythms, Sean shows that as well as sing on this track 'sometime soon'. Sandstone turn up the volume on the guitars for Track 6, 'Just Forget' as they display their song writing talent with another twist in style, and so it continues throughout the rest of the 12 tracks of melodic hard rock. Shuffle along darkness because someone else wants to feed.
