Details:
STONE SOUL FOUNDATION was formed in 2002. The Blues influenced hard rock band is based in the city of Auburn, which is located in the CNY area. Stone Soul Foundation’s writing style consists of pumped up and crunched out guitar work, complete with piercing guitar solos, courtesy of Jeff Wiggins and Dan Dennis. SSF’s guitar sound is also quite often melodic, bouncy, and drenched in a blues flow. The rhythm section is solid and pronounced. Shane Stillman attacks the drums with unforgiving might, though he easily switches to a more intricately laidback style when it is called for. Doug Paradise lays down a warm, rolling and pulsating bass guitar to which all other instruments lovingly adhere. Lead singer Sean Muldoon approaches the songs with equal parts raw aggression and a polished yet soulful flow. Stone Soul Foundation has been compared to bands such as Black Sabbath, Clutch, Grand Funk Railroad, Queen’s Of The Stone Age, Cream, Bad Company, Metallica, and even The Red Hot Chili Peppers. After eight years the members feel that Stone Soul Foundation has become a living and breathing entity. The presence of the life and energy that is Stone Soul Foundation can be felt and experienced at their live shows and on their recordings.
To date, STONE SOUL FOUNDATION has released four recordings. The first three have helped the band achieve success on many levels ranging from abundant radio airplay on college and commercial radio to winning awards recognizing their skills as recording artists. However their most recent release “Electric Valley” possesses the strength to elevate the band to the highest levels of success. “Electric Valley” contains a powerhouse of energy for both the band and the listener to jack into at will. There is no mistaking that the energy is vibrant and alive upon listening to the first track “Sidewalker”, a song that wastes no time taking the listener off of their feet and hurling them into a sonic frenzy. There are many different moods which are interwoven throughout the album. Musically, the riffs are similar to a rollercoaster ride in that they chug, climb, ascend, descend and corkscrew down the line while maintaining great intensity along the way. Muscular crunch gives way to funky blues boogie. Ethereal balladry swells into a powerfully moving chorus in the song “Window”. The lyrics range from the affirmations of one’s belief in oneself such as, “Gonna Try” and “I Master” to the scathing criticism of “Christian” and “Song About You”. For example, the latter track includes the line, “I don’t think it’s fair that I have to share the air with you!” Amazingly in a world of Digital Grid Robot Rock Stone Soul Foundation managed to create an album that is fleshy and organic “It’s Alive!”
STONE SOUL FOUNDATION is very encouraged by the quality and magnitude of their new album. The band feels they couldn’t have done it without recruiting two people in particular. Alex Perialas and Jason “Jocko” Randall have been absolutely committed to this project in all of their efforts. Their engineering and production expertise were applied to making this record without any reservation. Jocko is a young budding talent whose More Sound Studio is located in Syracuse NY. Alex Perialas is a seasoned veteran of the recording industry. Perialas has engineered and produced recording artists such as Bad Religion, Anthrax, and S.O.D to name a few. The bulk of “Electric Valley” was forged at Alex’s Pyramid sound studio in Ithaca NY. Incidentally, the band sent their record to be mastered at Georgetown Masters a historic multi-million dollar facility on Nashville’s music row.
