Stone, stylised uppercase as STONE, are an English indie rock band, formed out in Liverpool out of The Bohos and consisting of members Fin Power, Elliott Gill, Sarah Surrage, and Alex Smith.
Members[edit]
- Finley Jake "Fin" Power (born 1999), lead vocals and guitar and the son of John Power[1]
- Elliott Gill, lead guitar
- Sarah Lucy Surrage (born 2000/2001), bass
- Alex Smith, drums
Career[edit]
Fin Power and Elliot Gill started off as members of the band The Bohos, which formed in late 2015 and began releasing music in 2017 with bassist Ian Grant and drummer Jack Danily, supporting DMA's on tour. Drummer Alex Smith, whom Power knew from sixth form, replaced Danily in 2018.
Despite a strong formative start, upon entering their twenties with a clearer sense of identity, Power and Gill felt a rebrand was necessary, forming Stone in 2019. The name alludes to Power's mother's maiden name and Jewish heritage. Smith knew bassist Sarah Surrage from university, who joined the band at the start of 2020.[2] Later that year, they released their first singles under the new moniker "Leave It Out" and "Keep Running".
In July 2022, Stone signed with Polydor Records, under Universal Music Group,[3] in the lead up to their debut EP punkadonk that November.
Stone released their debut album Fear Life for a Lifetime in July 2024.[4] Around the same time, Stone declined an invitation from Simon Cowell to enter a talent show.[5]
