Band Interview: Stone Sea
Games, Brrraaains & A Head-Banging Life are very pleased to bring you an interview with alternative rock band, Stone Sea!
1. How did you get started as a band?
The band was started by our guitarist/vocalist Elvis in Brazil in 2015. After recording the first album, ‘Origins’, he moved to Ireland and reformed the band to record ‘Vaporizer’ and ‘Mankind Maze’.
2. How would you describe your sound?
We identify ourselves mainly as an alternative rock band, our songs are driven by groove orientated riffs that shape our songs. But we also blend elements of other genres and different sounds into our music, from Bossa Nova to Reggae.
3. What bands/artists would you say have influenced your style of music?
We, among almost every other rock band on the planet, have taken great inspiration from the works of Black Sabbath. Pantera also had a huge impact on us and inspired us to write riffs that are more groove-orientated.
4. Has the rise of YouTube & music streaming helped or hindered you as a band?
As a young band, this current digital industry is all we know. We’ve never had to adapt to it from a previous industry, we simply work in the industry as it exists now and build promotional strategies accordingly.
5. What do you enjoy doing when you’re not making music?
We’re great friends outside of the band as well, we actually play pool together pretty much every day! It’s a fun way to hang out together.
6. What are your future plans musically? Tours?
We’re currently working on an album which we’re hoping to release towards the end of the year. Said album may or may not be supported by a tour, you’ll have to keep an eye on our social media pages for updates!
