Wind-Up Entertainment struck gold with Creed, and the label has made post-grunge rock its signature sound ever since. The trend continues with this eponymous debut from 12 Stones. The New Orleans natives perfectly combine the melodic intervention of Three Doors Down with a sense of dramatic dynamics right out of Nickelback's bag of tricks. It's all held together by soaring vocals -- akin to a more polished version of (four more stones) Gavin Rossdale -- that will sound oh so perfect coming out of a radio speaker, along with more technical axe-work, particularly in the soloing, than the more commercial fare usually has. When you throw in a solid mix courtesy of producer Jay Baumgardner (Drowning Pool, Papa Roach) that accentuates all of the hit-making potential of tracks such as "Open Your Eyes," lead single "Broken," and the tribal "Soulfire," 12 Stones seems to be a can't-miss prospect from start to finish.

初出道之势已远超过Linkin Park的Evanescence随著成名冠军之作‘Bring Me To Life’的水涨船高，跟Amy Lee合唱的神祕男主唱，成为询问度相当高的焦点人物，这位名为Paul McCoy的主唱将带著他的自己的乐团12 stones正式与久候的乐迷见面！
来自路易斯安那洲，务农小镇的12 stones由Paul Mc Coy(主唱)、Eric Weaver(吉他手)、Kevin Dorr(贝斯手)、及Aawn Gainer(鼓手)四位所组成。于家乡成军之始，只能以一组翻唱团四处演出(因为当地只接受翻唱团的表演)，但他们不喜欢这样，仍积极的创作新作品，在不放弃任何机会下,开始制作Demo带，并起身至纽约寻找音乐上的机会"，虽然初至纽约的12 stones水土不服
