Stonewall is a hard rock power-trio based in the Connecticut River Valley of NH and VT. They are very popular in their area, and are quickly establishing themselves in other parts of the Northeast.  Stonewall's original songs mix elements of the hard rock of the 70s, 90s and today with the raw energy of grunge and the musicianship of metal, with nods to blues, roots and country influences.  Stonewall aims to transcend genres, and refuse to be pigeonholed.  While their sound is certainly heavy, the thunder comes with a healthy dose of soul.  They try to steer clear of gimmicks and clichés, and recall a time when rock bands succeeded through meaningful songwriting, musical excellence and mastery of their instruments. With a wealth of talent on each instrument, Stonewall stands out from the crowd as a band to watch.

Stonewall was once known as The Few. Josh Parker --the lead singer, guitarist and primary songwriter-- formed the band in 2000. When Ryan young replaced their first drummer in 2004, they changed the name to Stonewall.  Phillip Chiu took over on bass in 2005. The current lineup is by far the most talented yet.  Phillip's dexterity on bass and Ryan's explosive drumming offer the perfect compliment to Josh's solid rhythm and exciting lead guitar work. Josh's rich baritone lead vocals are supported by both Ryan and Phillip singing backup. They deliver a remarkably full sound for three people. Josh's proficient songwriting ensures that Stonewall constantly delivers new songs full of clever tongue-in cheek humor, social commentary and personal insight.

Stonewall aims to provide the best  concert experience they can for the fans. Josh, Ryan and Phillip remain humble, even as they gain more and more attention, and are commited to putting in the hard work necessary to realize Stonewall's full potential.

Stonewall has played with well-known national acts such as Days of the New, Quiet Riot, and Suicide City.  They also love to play with up-and-coming local and touring bands. Stonewall has won five consecutive "Battle of the Bands" sponsored by Captain B's Bar & Grill, Q106FM, FOX101.5, ROCK 93.9/101.7, and the 2007 Upper Valley Battle @ Shenanigan's in White River Junction, VT.

Stonewall looks forward to a prosperous Late 2007 with the release of their long awaited debut album "What If ?" and they will be opening for legendary punk metal pioneers the Misfits at the New England Punk Goth Metal Fest held at the Palladium in Worcester, Massachusetts.
