CD RELEASES

Deadwood Stone
Ashes

Even when the volume gets cranked up in rafter-rattling, heavy metal fashion, it’s still all about the songs and hooks. That’s what sets Deadwood Stone apart, evidenced by the Grand Rapids hard-rock band’s first full-length studio CD, recorded over two years with David James at Double D Productions. It also helps to have blistering guitars, a full-throated lead singer and a thunderous rhythm section when navigating the soft-to-loud dynamics in this 10-track release from the four-year-old band. Singer Chris Phillips, guitarist Dave Droski, bassist Fred Droski and drummer Nate Bishop put passion into their product, which is likely why they’ve been tabbed to open for a host of national acts.
Deadwood Stone hosts a CD-release show at 6:30 p.m. Saturday, March 30, at The Intersection, with Uncommon Road, Bled Life, Society Kills and Gunship Radio ($5 advance, $7 day of show).

Music critic and entertainment writer John Sinkevics comments on the local and national music scene at localspins.com (Spins on Music), spotlighting artists at 10 a.m. Wednesdays on Local Spins Live at News Talk 1340 AM.

Grand Rapids rockers Deadwood Stone are excited to announce their upcoming show opening for Papa Roach at The Orbit Room. This will be Deadwood Stone’s second time opening for authors of ‘Last Resort’, ‘Scars’, and ‘Lifeline’. One of Deadwood Stone’s most memorable shows is when they opened up for Papa Roach in Muskegon, MI at Summer Celebration in 2010. The crowd was electric, and Papa Roach showed the masses why they are one of the top touring acts today.

Papa Roach is currently touring in support of their new album ‘The Connection’. Fred Droski, bass player of Deadwood Stone, has been a fan since their 2000 release ‘Infest’. Fred received the new album for Christmas this year and loves it. Deadwood Stone is supporting their first single ‘The Man’ from their upcoming full length album which they released a music video for this summer.

The tour cruises through Grand Rapids, Saturday January 26 at The Orbit Room. Deadwood Stone hasn’t played the Orbit Room since they opened for Queensryche in August of 2011. Dave Droski, Lead Guitar for Deadwood Stone said, “Looking forward to getting back on that big stage! It’s an awesome venue that has hosted so many of our favorite bands. To be able to perform along side Papa Roach again, and perform on the same stage that has hosted Motorhead, Megadeth, and Type O Negative is a blessing.”

Pre-sale tickets are $24.50 and are available from Deadwood Stone band members with no convenience fee, or The Orbit Room box office, Vertigo Records, or The Corner Record Shop.
