Hello Music Fan,
Stone Rain, is a Los Angeles based two man fiercely independent rock band that features Brian Rooker on Guitars, keyboards, and percussion and Mark Kintis on lead vocals. We have been writing and performing original music together since 2000, and have recently released our second CD: "Second Sight". Our first album âthat was now (this is zen)â is available here.
Brian plays all the instruments that you hear (guitars, keyboards, percussion, etc) and adds counter-lead and background vocals through out the record. He does all the vocals on the song âIf Ever There was Loveâ. Mark is the lead singer, loud (sometimes) and proud (always).
Our sound is guitar driven with powerful vocals layered over often complex musical passages. It is acoustic powered, but with electric guitar edges, overtones, and undertones. We call our style âHeavy Middleâ.
Our writing focuses on melody (and counter melody) to provide rock songs that are easy to listen to but with enough musical sub-plots to stand up well to repeated playing. Often complex vocally, lyrically, and instrumentally, we take time (boy do we take time . . .) to add layers of instruments and vocal harmonies to bring out a very full sound that belies the fact that there's only the two of us.
The album art on âthat was now (this is zen)â are watercolor paintings and calligraphy by Los Angeles Artist and friend Silvia Shiada done specifically for this record. The fourth track on this record, âThe Puzzle Songâ, was inspired by her artwork.
We'd like to thank all who listen and support the band. It really means a lot to us.
Take care,
Brian and Mark
Stone Rain
All songs come to an end, but the music never stops
