Biography

Having hailed from rural Mandeville in Louisiana, the fact of their geographic location was important and decisive. According to what they declare, their idea is to make modern rock mixed with indigenous elements that were familiar to them.

12 Stones was determined to showcase original material from the start. So it took a couple of years for the group to break into the more professional circuit playing to a small crowd and recording a demo that would sound convincing to a record executive. They came to New York to perform at those auditions or conventions where talent scouts hang out. Finally the group signed a contract with Wind-Up Records and then they decided to record their debut in Los Angeles, choosing producer Jay Baumgardner, who had already worked with groups such as Papa Roach, Drowning Pool and Alien Ant Farm. His song "We Are One" It has been used in WWE by the team The Nexus.

On March 2, 2016, 12 Stones announced that they have signed a recording contract with Cleopatra Records and have begun work on a new album.

On May 17, 2016 the group announced that they will be participating in the Make America Rock Again super tour.
