Genre:  Hard Rock/Heavy Metal, Rock \nMembers:  Paul McCoy (vocals), Eric Weaver (guitar), Aaron Gainer (drums), Greg Trammell (guitar)  \nFor fans of:  P.O.D., Creed, Seether, Three Days Grace, Evanescence \nLabel:  Wind-Up Records \n\n Discography\nPotter's Field (2004)\n12 Stones (2002)\nBiography (courtesy of Wind-Up Records) \nThe two years since the release of 12 Stones' debut album have been "definitely a whirlwind," according to singer Paul McCoy. The group sold over 300,000 copies of that album, largely through touring with the likes of Creed and 3 Doors Down and word-of-mouth. Throw in McCoy's featured vocals on Evanescence's breakthrough hit Bring Me to Life and a steadily growing fan base, and you've got a hard-rocking band on the brink of a major breakthrough.\n   \nThe two years since the release of 12 Stones' debut album have been "definitely a whirlwind," according to singer Paul McCoy. The group sold over 300,000 copies of that album, largely through touring with the likes of Creed and 3 Doors Down and word-of-mouth. Throw in McCoy's featured vocals on Evanescence's breakthrough hit Bring Me to Life and a steadily growing fan base, and you've got a hard-rocking band on the brink of a major breakthrough.\n\nPotter's Field, the group's take-no-prisoners second album, should be that breakthrough.\n\n"This is a bigger record all the way around," McCoy states. "We wrote it the way we wanted it to be put out. A lot of the songs don't necessarily sound like 12 Stones songs; people might say, 'That's not the 12 Stones I know.' Maybe not, but it's the 12 Stones you're about to know."\n\n"I'm extremely proud of it," adds drummer Aaron Gainer. "I feel like we've really come together musically, it's heavier in some senses, but also a bit more musical as well."\n\nFilled with crunching, memorable riffs and melodies, and spotlighting McCoy's aggressively expressive vocals, Potter's Field runs the gamut from the intense, emotional grind of "Photograph" to the wistful, introspective "In Closing." One of the album's many highlights is the first single "Far Away," which is an energetic, melodic powerhouse. \n\n"The shape of that song was pretty much the way it sounds on the record from day one," McCoy says. "It's about a friend of my sister's, who in high school was in a relationship that ended about three months in—and how he killed himself in a very weak way."\n\nThe arrangement, he continues, "was a reflection of how I felt sad about what had happened. As I started working on the song it started to make me angry, that someone would take their life over something so trivial. A lot of people might expect Photograph to somehow be reassuring and say, 'It's okay'—but it's not okay. Instead, it steps up and says, 'Don't be a punk.'"\n\nSongwriting in 12 Stones is shared equally by all four members, and is "pretty much an all-the-time thing," says guitarist Eric Weaver. "Every time I have a guitar in my hands I start messing around with ideas. Very often we'll start out in a room together, and each of us will start throwing ideas around. What works, works, and what doesn't we leave out."\n\nProduction duties on Potter's Field were handled by Dave Fortman who, in addition to co-producing the group's debut album and working with such acts as Evanescence and Atomship, also played guitar in Ugly Kid Joe.\n\n"He's very musical, and a lot of respect comes with that," Weaver says. "There are some producers who might want you to change something but can't really give you a reason why. We take direction a lot better from someone who's been in our shoes before."\n\n12 Stones also takes a lot of energy from the byplay with its c

They're not particulary famous but the band Ween are very nice. When my brother and I saw them a few years back Gene Ween gave us free tickets to their next show and when I lost my brother the next night Dean Ween helped me look for him. Also, not particulary famous anymore but I met Blackie from Urge Overkill once and he was a bit like Surly from The Seven Duffs in The Simpsons.

I think it's too soon to tell. I personally don't believe they will become "legends" like say the Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin, The Who, etc. But they will of course be considered one of the greatest bands of the 90's/00's (and beyond if they continue).

Technically, Pete Wentz(Fall Out Boy) is the discoverer of them. \nRyan Ross(lead-guitarist and lyrics) and Spencer Smith(drums) formed the band(then Brendon Urie and Jon Walker joined after Brent Wilson was kicked out) and Pete Wentz got them the record deal and signed them to his label.

Yeah, they're AWESOME! they have addictive riffs and they have such a cool sound to them. I like "96 Quite Bitter Beings", "Escape From Hellview", "Don't Hold Your Breath" and "Suddenly Tragic". I'm not exactly sure about their album names but they ARE a kickass band

recently went to the stones down under tour, and keefs left the auckland mercy ascot hospital, and going for regular check ups. Great classics were played during the concert, with some excellent riffs from keef. Especially, for the last hit, Brown Sugar - it was a once in a lifetime experience, and can't wait to get another opportunity, but they should be done after this tour.\n\n\nStone fans are Stone fans Forever.\n\nThe Stones truly are the greates rock & roll band in the world, although they are a jazz band :p\n\n\n\nPeace
