Biography

Coming original with a new blend of Southern California rock infused reggae, Stone Senses have been taking the West Coast music scene by storm since 2004. Hailing from Carlsbad, CA in North County San Diego, Stone Senses have set out to embody the upbeat, positive nature of the scene that they grew up in. Traditional reggae acts like Steel Pulse and Toots and The Maytals, to the modern rock reggae of 311 and Bad Brains, have influenced Stone Senses to create their own niche in the rock reggae world.

Stone Senses members include many veterans of the San Diego music scene:

Mike O’Gara (Guitar, Vocals), Eric Castaneda (Vocals), Garrett Grabowsky (Guitar), John Laue (Drums), and Charlie Ball (Bass).

“Harder than the Rest,” Stone Senses’ first full- length album, catapulted the band from a back- yard party band to a legitimate touring group on the reggae rock circuit. Tracks like “Broken Crown” and “Open Mind,” embody their positive attitude, soulful lyrics and a knack for writing both mature and thoughtful compositions. “Adelitas” foreshadows the heavier side of rock reggae that future Stone Senses songs would follow.

Stone Senses second full- length “Live It Up” was released August 8th, 2008. With 12 tracks that range from rolling ska rockers like “Live it Up” to smooth reggae grooves like “Wait.” The album touches everyone’s musical taste buds. Beautiful melodies come from two promising vocalists, who, in contrast are as different as the songs they appear in. Warm, intelligent bass lines and amazing guitar solos finish off this well rounded sophomore album.
