   About Soundstone
****Scratchin at my Door Ep**** is now available to download from TUNETRIBE and buy online from the link below. Also available at VITAL RECORDS, Banbridge and BACKBEAT, Belfast. Soundstone present their eagerly anticipated debut EP, Scratchin' At My Door. It has been highly welcomed not only throughout the ranks of their devout following, but the established rock scene as a whole with Neil Calderwoods production at Manor Park Studios. This offering has a unique style and sound which makes it hard to categorise however, these guys are clearly driven by dirty crunching riffs, married with descant guitar harmonies sprinkled throughout as title track 'Still I Wake' clearly demonstrates, with a powerful and searing vocal telling the tale of hardships and bitter loss. One thing is for sure, Soundstone have all the qualities & attributes to go far, and with such infectious foot tapping sounds it quite frankly leaves you wanting...more. If their live show even begins to capture the intensity that this offering gives you, you're in for a fantastic treat...

Reviews kerri www.hairmetalireland.co.uk Soundstone Scratchin at my Door 2007 "I'll start of by apologising to the very patient guys in Soundstone for the length of time that it has taken me to do this review, i'm a lazy bitch, sorry!!!! For those who don't know, Soundstone are a heady mix of bluesy rock n roll and dirty vocal (and lyrics!!!). The three track EP was produced at Manor Park studios and its evident from the start that it has captured Soundstone at their very best. The first track 'Still I Wake' comes thumping onto the stereo with massive guitar lines and crashing cymbals. Declan's vocals cover a impressive range throughout this song and the chorus comes across as a laid back drawl. My favourite track is the southern styled 'Good for the soul' which is the kind of song that makes me wish I had a porch so I could sit on it with a big glass of Jack Daniels. I love the guitar riff in this song. They are so catchy and will be in your head for the rest of the day. 'Everybody knows' is a darker, muddier song but once again its catchy and like the previous two songs it has a catchy chorus. Overall this was a great release from Soundstone, but for a band with such a wealth of material, 3 tracks is a little disappointing. Get writing the album guys and get back to Mr Calderwood ASAP to record it!! 8/10 Kerri ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Review:http://www.sleazeroxx.com/bands/soundstone/scratchin.shtml What do we have here? A three song EP from Northern Ireland band Soundstone is what we have. "Everybody Knows" is melodic rock at its finest. It's a good catchy song, but clocking in at over five minutes it's about two minutes too long and it gets a tad drawn out, mainly because it lacks lyrically. It seems as if Soundstone have extended it to have a damn good jam session, and there is nothing wrong with that of course, but it slightly bores me after the four minute mark. If you are into listening to some chunky and overall tight musicianship, you will enjoy this number. "Good For The Soul" displays how great these guys are at playing together as a band. Everything fits together nicely. You can just about picture the 60s vibe; flower power, hippies and sitting around getting stoned to this one. And saving the best until last, "Still I Wake", is the definite highlight here. Although sounding nothing like Steppenwolf, for some reason that I can't quite put my finger on, the beginning somehow reminds me of the anthem-like "Born To Be Wild". It is foot tapping stuff with great guitar work weaving in, out, around and about. Vocalist Declan Bannon (with perfect timing on this track) goes from sounding mellow and laid back, to at times spitting out the vocals and it's all good. I like Scratchin' At My Door. Soundstone have a groovy type of sound and feel to them that is a bit different and fresh. Check it out man. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ review by hardrockhideout.files.wordpress.com If the the four gentlemen in Northern Ireland’s Soundstone have their way, they will soon be following their countrymen The Answer, into the mainstream. Their three song EP, Scratchin’ At My Door is a modern rock CD that has a sound with elements of 70’s classic rock, and a small bit of 80’s hard rock. The tunes are good enough for current rock fans to digest, and could easily work on rock radio today. Adrian McAleenan has some very cool guitar solos. Declan Bannon’s vocals are pretty good. His sound reminds me of a cross between Andrew Stockdale from Wolfmother, and a small dash of Ian Astbury from the Cult. Scratchin’ At My Door shows a lot of promise for this Irish four piece. I hope they put out a full length disc for us to listen to soon. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ review (translated from Italian http://www.roxxzone.com/soundstonerece.htm) From Northern Ireland came four boys grew up on bread and hard rock. Among the influences that arise more from their first self produced ep, we must certainly mention the Sabbath classics and the latest Black Label Society Zakk Wylde. Three of the songs offered. The roboante "Still I Wake" is a mix between The Cult and the modern Queen Of The Stone Age, in "Good For The Soul" the first encounter the Queen Guns hardest and give birth a song from engaging groove, "I Have strayed closes this work and shows how the visionary The Doors have left its mark on the musical life of Soundstone. A good thumbnail waiting to test the band on the long distance. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
