Our Story

Welcome! 

We're The Stone Pines, a rock/blues band from Vancouver BC, Canada. We are passionate about music and have been working hard to realize our dream of being a band full time. Over the last two years, we've written a group of songs that we are extremely proud of, but haven't been able to afford to record. A big step for us will be releasing them for you to hear! 

Because we're an independent band, paying for a professional studio/producer can be a challenge. We have planned and budgeted what we need for the album, and have already raised the rest of the money needed from playing shows and through a FACTOR grant from the Canadian government. We need to do our songs justice and record them in a professional studio. 

We are heading into The Warehouse Studios in February 2012 to record the album with mixer/producer Eric Mosher (Franz Ferdinand, AC/DC, Chickenfoot), who worked with us on our last single "Goodbye Devil". We set our sights high, as The Warehouse is one of the best studios in Canada and we could only afford one day in the studio for that single. We rehearsed the three songs from "Goodbye Devil" over and over and recorded all of them "live off the floor" in a single day. We were really happy with the recordings and with Eric and want to work with him again to build on what we had a taste of before, but this time we are hoping to have more time to record and mix so that our CD sounds great for you. We will be recording 6 new songs, which together with the songs from "Goodbye Devil" will make a 9 song album that we can showcase to the world.

What We Need & What You Get

We've booked the studio time in but won't be able to record unless we raise the missing funds. The whole project will cost over $5000, which includes 3 days in The Warehouse studios, 4 days of mixing, mastering, CD Duplication and artwork printing. 

For your generous donations we have some prizes that we think you'll like, including VIP packages, signed CD's, posters, and even a custom built L'Arrivee guitar from our guitarist Corey Fenton! We can't thank you enough for helping us and are truly grateful for your support.
