The more I become entrenched in the hard rock classics of the 70's, the more I like seeing a band like StoneRider.  The whole night was filled with straight up, in your face hard rock.  StoneRider just happened to the the lucky ones to go first.  Straight out of Collective Soul country, these Georgian boys from Atlanta had their shit together.  I think everyone in the house had to agree that the bluesy hard rocks being thrown at us from StoneRider were all too easy to catch.  Traveling around 3rd on the bill to Endeverafter and Airbourne seems an unlikely place for these Southern lads to be perched.  Check out their web site, you'll see how immediately catchy their tunes are... they just seem to reach out and pull you in.
