After the release of the new album “Hopes & Dreams” last April on all digital platforms and the cancellation of the promotion tour due to the current pandemic, Stone Breakers present a showcase at RHI. The new 11-track album was recorded and produced at Moby Dick Records (Braga) under the baton of Budda Guedes, the same producer responsible for the work of Mundo Cão, Maria João Budda Power Blues, Monstro Mau, among others. The artwork was once again in charge of Wake up Death - Ricardo Navarro.

 

The Stone Breakers are a rock band from Portimão formed by Ray van D, Vasco Moura, Bruno Vitor Martins and Ricardo Batista. With a sound reminiscent of Led Zeppelin Rock from the 70s, Soundgarden & Black Crowes from the 90s and Queens of the Stone Age or Rival Sons of today, they are a band essentially united by musicality and a strong friendship that makes them a family.

 

The music they write is a reflection of that - a true portrait of their travels, experiences together, the road, laughter, tears, drunken nights, fatherhood, love, places and how they see the world. “A traveling gipsy with a guitar in my hand / Brotherhood and family / The core of this poor band” (in “Back on the road”)

 

They always heard the phrase “Rock is dead”, but what others say doesn't matter. It is always worth pursuing your dreams and fighting for them. “Hopes & Dreams” is available on all digital platforms and on sale in CD and Vinyl format limited edition at stonebreakermusic.com.
