Stoneside. (With the period) was formed during the latter half of the pandemic in 2021 by frontman and songwriter ,Crane as a musical outlet after having lost his job and struggling with the isolation of being quarantined. Crane began to take long walks during the day to kill time. He would walk to a nearby cemetery. There, he began looking up the obituaries and learning the stories of many of the people who were buried there. Inspired by the stories of loss, triumph, family, love, and sacrifice that he found as well as his own personal mourning of someone close he’d lost, Crane began creating the ambient progressive metalcore homage that would become Stoneside.

After starting as a solo project, the project began to quickly gain momentum. Crane enlisted the instrumental services of Alex Wheeler, Robb Mars, Alex Reyes, and Matt Bradshaw. In three years time, the band have cultivated a dedicated following, having played with acts such as The Browning, Left to Suffer, Sevendust, Cold, Tallah, Mouthbreather, Tracheotomy and more. Stoneside. Have a truly distinct sound that is immediately identifiable and stands apart. It is as sad and sparse as it is incredibly volatile and venomous. The group signed with Famined Records in 2023 and is set to release their 4th offering, The Isolationist in the first quarter of 2024.
