Stonestreet

How would you define your sound?

The sound of Stonestreet’s music is based on distorted guitar riffs and melodic vocals. We have adapted and fused the most popular and underground styles, compressed them with our knowledge and practice, and turned the outcome into the original sound of Stonestreet, as it is. Our fans and many other people have said that the sound of Stonestreet is something new to their ears -it does have some kind of A -Europe, Scandinavian taste. The music is blended with rock, pop, metal and even disco. We believe that we are up to a discover a new genre -but it’s still a secret.


With there being so many bands out there now, do you feel you need to compete with them at all?

A feel of a competition is always a necessary thing to keep pushing the boundaries further and further. But it’s not about the battle…it’s all about getting their music out there. “We try to get friends with every band we play on the same stage -even if it’s a battle of the bands”.


Is this a particular place you go to for inspiration, or a certain person?

The place where we come from, where the band was formed and the rehearsals were held, is our inspiration. It is so full of positive energy that even the director of our first music video of One Dead Game, Santiago Rivero got inspirated and encouraged us to make this video. Even when we moved to UK in august 2010, we still managed to feel that energy from our memories. That is what actually feeds our muse and creativeness -belief that music is the source of our lives.


Do you feel that being based in Manchester gives you the chance to reach out to many people?

As we have moved from Latvia, where music industry is so very very small compared to UK’s, we definitely feel that this is the right place. Population of Manchester is twice as bigger as whole Latvia’s, so hell yeah…this is our chance. The audience in Manchester is amazing and supportive and seem to have a great interest in Latvian rock.


Your favourite venue to gig at?

We have just recently started gigging, as we are new in town, but for now it seems that Band on The Wall is a decent venue to have a gig in. The PA equipment is amazing, and the place it self has a very good atmosphere. We definitely would love to play there again!
