Stonefield (band)

Stonefield are an Australian rock band comprising the four Findlay sisters: Amy, Hannah, Sarah, and Holly.

"[1] They released a five-track extended play, Through the Clover (November 2010), with Greg Wales producing via Shock Records.

[9][11] The Age's Elizabeth Colman felt "[they] more than held their own at one of the world's biggest music events", adding that "the talented foursome's raw vocal power and polished playing, which climaxed with an inspired cover of Led Zeppelin's 'Whole Lotta Love', got the punters rocking.

"[9] Earlier in June 2011, Stonefield had performed at the Melbourne Cricket Ground, providing pre-match entertainment at an Australian Football League match (Geelong vs. Hawthorn), celebrating "Women's Round".

[14] Alex Rappel of FasterLouder observed, "[they] certainly know how to rock out in the style of old, and Richie Blackmore and Co would no doubt be impressed by Stonefield's offerings... [they] do not try to offer social commentary or sage wisdom in their latest EP Bad Reality, but rather a rock record that will melt your face off!

[25] TheMusic.com.au's Bryget Chrisfield gave it 3.5 stars and explained, "[it] surpasses all preconceived notions of the sonic terrain these rockin' sisters can effortlessly traverse.

[16] Libby Webster of The Austin Chronicle rated it 2.5 stars and explained, "[the group] trudges along haltingly, a chaos of genre.

Hammering prog ('Far from Earth') and blistering doom metal ('Through the Storm'), their momentum wanes with milder moments of psychedelia.

[29] L.A. Record's Madison Desler, who caught their gig at Los Angeles' The Bootleg club in that same month, opined that "they bashed through cuts off their new album, Far from Earth.

'Delusion', a mix of distorted psych and stormy desert rock[,] had drummer and lead singer Amy Findlay showing off her impressive vocals, while the dark, dance beat of 'Visions' got the packed crowd to shimmy and slide.

Stonefield also appears in King Gizzard's concert film Chunky Shrapnel in 2020, playing the song "A Brief History of Planet Earth".
