I’m a big fan of the rock and metal genres, so of course, I immediately loved Black Stone Brewers’ song Cut The Cord.

By Jane Howkins

Cut The Cord starts out with some heavy riffs, before the first verse kicks in. The verses are a little more melodic, but they’re no less intense – one of the things that really stood out to me there is how prominent the bass is. The chorus has an anthemic hard rock sound, but whilst it’s melodic, it’s also very heavy, showing a band capable of a mixture of styles. The vocals are soulful throughout, having that classic hard rock sound to them.
