About 'Heart of Stone'

"Heart of Stone" is a stunning rock track that showcases the virtuoso drumming of Andrew Gallop, the band's talented drummer.

The song begins with big, powerful building chords before giving way to a light grooving section and a percussion-heavy breakdown. The catchy repeating outro, featuring drums, bass, guitar, and keys, will have you singing along in no time. But "Heart of Stone" is more than just a great rock tune - its theme of an unwillingness to compromise or sympathize is universal and relatable.

The song laments the wasted time and energy in petty conflicts, urging listeners to let go of grudges and focus on what's truly important. So turn up the volume and let "Heart of Stone" rock your world.

"Heart Of Stone is a journey about acknowledging that we only have one shot at this life and we need to pursue our dreams at all costs."  - Simon Middleton
