NoraStone
is an upcoming band from New York, well on their way to making their presence
known nationally. Only about one year old with a few months performance
experience under their belt, the band has already opened for Flyleaf and
Drowning Pool and played venues in New York, Connecticut, and Pennsylvania.
NoraStone’s
“Hopeless Lives & Lullabies” is a five-track album that expertly shows off
each member’s individual talents. As a whole, NoraStone sounds
polished and perfected despite being such a young band. Upon first listen, the
guitar solos and vocals are reminiscent of Avenged Sevenfold
and leave the listener wanting more. Hearing a band like NoraStone is
refreshing considering the talent (or lack thereof) that is popular in today’s
music industry. Because of their unique sound, the band is able to really
differentiate themselves from everything that is out there right now. Having
this advantage is really the best key in a successful career in the industry.
On “Hopeless Lives & Lullabies,” a track entitled
‘Silver Linings’ is one of their best songs. It’s the only slow song on the
album and does the best to really reflect the singer’s emotions to the
listener. The others songs featured on the album have quicker tempos, amazing
guitar solos, and a heavier sound. A video of a performance in December can be
viewed on Youtube.
I was fortunate enough to interview two of the band’s members
last night and ask them some questions about how they started and what it’s
like breaking into the music scene. They shared their thoughts with me about
digital and physical distribution, social networking, and record labels. The
entire interview can be viewed here.
