Hard Hitting Rock

North Carolina hard rockers STONE WHISKEY Carry the Torch for Straight Up Rebellious Rock ‘N’ Roll on New Album, Rebels of the Sun, which released on May 7, 2021. 

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 by producer Anthony Focx, whose more than 500 releases include Buckcherry, Night Ranger, Vince Neil, Daughtry, Aerosmith and 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" was released on August 17, 2024.
