Stoned Grace

By any standard, Stoned Grace is an unconventional band. The NY/NJ-based quartet take the larger-than-life mystique of classic/progressive rock and modernize it with equal parts old school R&B and funk to unleash a style of melodic hard rock that’s nearly irresistible. While there are echoes of the past in their music, it merely acts as a foundation for the group’s distinctive sound. Stoned Grace’s ambitious debut CD, Cast the First Stone, sidesteps what’s going on in today’s commercial marketplace while focusing on the band’s forte of propulsive, soulful rock. On an album that is linear and diverse but not random, the songs of Cast The First Stone reflect positive lyrical messages delivered through heavy yet soulful music that captures the kinetic energy and compelling force of the band’s live show. It may be just the album you’ve been waiting for.
