Editorial Reviews Band members: Brian McWatters: vocals, guitar Although "This Terminal Line" is a testament to The Stone Throwers' affinity to pop structure, it also shows that the band is unafraid to explore darker themes. The eerie "Terminal Barge" the epic "Undertaker's Lullaby", and the feedback drenched instrumental "Neah Bay" provide ample evidence. Overall, "This Terminal Line" is a strong effort, and remarkably mature first album. The well crafted arrangements, and the elusive mix of restraint and abandon in the band's musicianship make for intriguing listening, while still capturing the intensity of The Stone Throwers' live performances.
This Terminal Line, Music, The Stone Throwers
About the Artist
A little twang, a little Mersey, and a full tank of diesel - The Stone Throwers play an intriguing mix of alternative country and indie rock. Solemn tales of mistrust and longing are layered with heavy pop melodies and gritty guitar textures. Their songs range from dark melodic ballads to full throttle rock n' roll to gritty dream pop.
Seth Howard: guitar, vocals
Drew Pearce: bass
Bob Nazzaro: drums
Album Description
From the rootsy grind and soaring harmonies of the album's opener "Flint", to the mesmerizing chime which ends "Industry", "This Terminal Line" pushes the boundaries of the alternative country sound. The twang of "Chrome", "Diesel" and "Weak Kneed" blend effortlessly with the neo-British Invasion sensibilities of "Sweet Belly Sunrise" and "Overtone".
