The artwork & audio masters for the LP have been sent to the plant for production. When all is done there will be a few versions available. Some of the variations are black vinyl, clear vinyl, printed inner sleeve(w/lyrics), 18x24 poster, one sided 7"(with non-lp song). i haven't decided the numbers yet but it will start with standard black vinyl version & go up to the 'die hard' version that will include everything listed above and a test pressing.
getting ready to post a bunch of new shows including a 9 day west coast tour.

STONE AXE II is now available on itunes and other download sites.

STONE AXE II is up on cdbaby.com and stonerrock.com it will soon be available on other sites and many download sites as well.
We've been working on some more of the "II" songs to add to the live set and Dru & I have been finishing up a couple of new songs for the "die hard" edition of "II" on LP.
I'll have some new touring news in the coming weeks.

Stone Axe would like to say thank you to all of those who purchased STONE AXE II directly from us. The orders came quick and many and my friends at the post office are probably tired of seeing my face. You will still be able to purchase it here but you will be redirected to cd baby for the actual transaction.
In other news, I have some great ideas for the LP of STONE AXE II. There will be a few different versions available and a very limited "die hard" edition. i will keep the progress posted.
Thank you to the fans and staff at the alibi(arcata)& mt. tabor theater(portland)

STONE AXE II has arrived and i have had some private emails about buying it directly from us before it gets handed over to distributors. The disc has been sent to the distributor but won't be available for a few weeks so if you just can't live knowing that this cd exists, you can paypal $12($15 outside of the US)to tdallasreed@hotmail.com and i'd be glad to get one(or more)out to ya. Let us know what you think after you spin it a few times.

Stone Axe II will be in our hands on march 22nd. After that it will take a few weeks to get circulated through our distributors and be available for purchase online. We will be selling them at shows starting this weekend in Arcata, Ca & Portland Or.
I am now putting together ideas for the vinyl version of "II". There are many ideas for a limited edition version but nothing is concrete. I'd like to be sending that to press in the next few weeks. I will keep you posted and that and put up a new free download soon ~ Tony

We had a great time in Alaska and would like to thank everybody who helped put this together and make it a great experience for us. We hope it was for you as well.

We have more out of state gigs coming up and a lot of work to do doing promo for the new album. It looks like we are going to film various promo videos for some of our songs. The first will be some live 'Beat Club' style videos featuring songs from the first and second album. Then maybe a proper video or two. hopefully by summer we can have some kind of proper DVD out.

New free download of the month is up. it's a cover of the Cream song "SWLABR". It was the b-side to our first single and available on vinyl only.

Today I sent off the audio master and the artwork files for Stone Axe II. Hopefully it will get back in time for our trip down to California & Oregon and by April it will be available for purchase online on CD and digital download. The Lp should be out by late spring and of course there will be some extra goodies with the vinyl version.
The songs on Stone Axe II seem to journey into more of a mid 70's arena rock sound with more singalong chorus' and hard rock riffs. We feel that it is a worthy follow to the 'self titled' Stone Axe debut from last year and are excited to take these songs out on the road. rock on!

'Ello kiddies. Here is the new official home of STONE AXE. Right now the big news is this website, new releases, the completion of STONE AXE II and some shows we have coming up. We will be providing more details on all of these topics soon so come on back.

The calender is starting to fill up. We have some local shows as usual but we are also going to Alaska and down to California in March. We are also putting together some ideas for a western united states tour scheduled for late spring.

Our webstore is fully loaded with STONE AXE merchandise. Cds, Records & T-Shirts. Stone Axe for sale...check it out.

The first free download is up now. It is a live version of "Ain't Gonna Miss It" recorded live @ Winterland in Bremerton, Wa. 12/31/09
