At
the core of the band are brothers Judah Salem and Benjamin Judah
Kim who were born and raised outside Philadelphia. After graduating
from Berklee College of Music in 2003, Judah moved out to Los Angeles
to pursue a career as a songwriter/vocalist/recording engineer.
After 6 months, Ben packed up his bass guitar and followed his older
brother to LA. Within months, Stonethrown was formed with 3 other
members. The band started out as a high energy rock band with passionate
vocals, loud intricate guitars, ethereal synth ambience and thunderous
grooves. After 2 years of successfully touring and recording in
LA, Judah and Ben decided it was time to move back to the east coast.
When they returned they
started rehearsals almost immediately. On Drums and percussion,
they recruited long time friend and drummer of Grimace Federation,
Jon Wood. On second guitar, they recruited Chris Wolf of Philly
local band the Flathead Gang.
Since
their rebirth, Stonethrown have played a number of successful live
shows and have released their debut record "Where You Stand."
The album is available for download and physical purchase at cdbaby.com
and itunes.
