In this episode, we talk with Brian from Stonecutters. Fists full of aggression with riffs that pummel you into submission is how I think of the music of Kentucky’s Stonecutters. I had the honor of spending some time talking with Brian about their new album Eye Of The Skull, their approach to songwriting, a bit of Brian’s influences and musical career, and of course pizza toppings. Be sure to catch Stonecutters live when you get a chance.
They will be on tour with Cavalcade and Mound Builders starting on August 1st in Kalamazoo Mi with stops in Lafayette Indiana (August 2), and Louisville Kentucky (August 3). Follow them on social media for the latest news and tour dates.
