“Rock is not dead, and Stone Whiskey is proof of that, no pun intended.  We plug into the amps and crank it up and scream loud. To me, it’s just pure rock and roll at it’s truest form.” – Alan Rueda (Vocalist)

 

“When these five guys get together, there is that inexplicable vibe that only needs a simple label to describe it… Straight up Rock n Roll. Rock n Roll bands need that undeniable force of a captivating front man, guitar heroes, and songs people can relate to but most importantly a Rock and Roll band needs swagger. That swagger is what I love most about being in this band. What we do onstage and how that vibe was captured on this album is just so cool to me.” – Bill Spears (Guitarist)

 

North Carolina rockers, Stone Whiskey are thrilled to premiere the official music video for their latest single, an acoustic track titled “Tearin’ Me Apart,” on November 16, 2024 on the band’s official YouTube channel.

The band is also proud to announce the release of their highly anticipated second album, Scream for Rock, now available on all major streaming platforms as of November 16, 2024. Known for their high-energy performances and raw, powerful sound, Stone Whiskey’s second album was once again produced by Anthony Focx, who has worked with everyone from Ace Frehley, and Aerosmith to Buckcherry and Black Veil Brides. As a follow up to the band’s 2021 debut album Rebels of the Sun, Scream for Rock once again has fans enthusing that the Raleigh-based quintet is carrying the old school rock ‘n’ roll torch for a new generation.

Earlier this year, Stone Whiskey embarked on the next step of the band’s career by officially signing to Kivel Records, with Scream for Rock becoming available on CD from the label’s website on August 16, 2024, at https://kivelrecords.com/store

The launch of Scream for Rock was celebrated by the band’s performance at Monsters on the Mountain festival in Gatlinburg, TN along with Joan Jett, Tesla, Night Ranger, Jackyl, Slaughter, Faster Pussycat, Vixen, Quiet Riot, Lynch Mob, Dangerous Toys and many more. Many festival attendees proclaimed that Stone Whiskey was one of the biggest highlights of the entire festival with a blistering performance on the main stage on Saturday as well as a second, intimate acoustic performance on Sunday that ended in a standing ovation for the band.

January 17, 2025 at the Lincoln Theatre in Raleigh, NC will kick off an exciting year of tour dates that are in the works across the US and beyond.

 

About STONE WHISKEY:

STONE WHISKEY is an American hard rock band, based out of Raleigh, NC.  Building on the classic, time tested 5-piece formula of hard hitting, rebellious rock n roll, the band’s lineup consists of vocalist Alan Rueda, guitarists Bill Spears and Chris Clark, drummer Mike Ropelewski, and bassist Jim Hunter.

STONE WHISKEY’s classic, time tested sound was brought to life on their 2021 debut album Rebels of the Sun by producer Anthony Focx, (who is credited on more than 500 releases include Buckcherry, Night Ranger, Vince Neil, Daughtry, Aerosmith and has achieved 17 gold and platinum awards).

There’s no filler on Rebels of the Sun, with each of the record’s nine tracks delivering a hefty dose of high-energy rock. Drawing comparisons to Guns N’ Roses’ early recordings, STONE WHISKEY has already garnered praise for their classic sound, with fans enthusing that the Raleigh-based quintet is carrying the old school rock ‘n’ roll torch for a new generation.

Rebels of the Sun was ranked #11 in the Top 20 of 2021 album picks by Aaron Small for Bravewords.com, a leader in Hard Rock and Heavy Metal news, with over a half million unique visitors per month worldwide, among an impressive list of albums from the likes of Dirty Honey, Buckcherry, Black Label Society, Myles Kennedy and many more.

STONE WHISKEY is now signed to Kivel Records, with sophomore album release titled Scream For Rock, which was released on August 17, 2024.
