Music is a very treasured piece of our existence and is taken for granted far to often in today's mainstream culture. Artists such as Jim Morrison, Ian Curtis, Janis Joplin expressed themselves the only way they knew possible... With music; I hope to find the best of the best, the unseen Kings and Queens of the underground and share them with you the people around the world.

We make making music videos, record intense live performances, conduct interviews, and take pictures at the shows we attend. Be a part of what we are doing; All you gotta do is show up to the next show. I don't care which one it is.

Recognition's 'soundcloud' page, was created to compile the calm thoughts on outrageous issues, stemming from our writers minds. We take what we do seriously. Certain things that we are subjected to read, listen, and watch; makes us "grouchy" to say the least, so we come here to vent a little.

We make these files free downloadable content simply because I like the thought that you could be listening to these entries on the go or perhaps when you show it to a friend they'll ask for it, whatever they case they are all free.

Alright, its time to let loose on some serious topics.

Are you ready?

Stone Iris is a rootsy, new-blues rock band out of Edmonton, Alberta. With a signature slow-burning and brutally honest sound, they’ve toured in the rain, snow and sun, from Vancouver to Toronto more than half a dozen times and taken their incredible live show throughout the entire United States, from coast to coast on three separate, two-month stints.

As a completely independent, self-sustaining band, Stone Iris has released several albums, have been nominated for multiple Edmonton Music Awards, and were voted Sonic 102.9’s Band Of The Month for March 2013. In the Fall of 2014, Stone Iris were named Indie Week 2014 Winners and will represent Canada at UK Indie Week in Manchester in May, 2015.


"Grande National," Stone Iris's latest full-length release, was recorded while on tour at Deadbird Studios in Louisville, Kentucky. The album, released in October 2013, garnered much attention from media and music lovers. Alan Cross, internationally acclaimed music reviewer said of one tune, "This song is so infectious, it's ridiculous." 

“Have Mercy” is the name of the current EP, the band has been working on with Toronto based producer Brian Moncarz (The Reason, Moneen, Acres of Lions).  It is largely informed by Stone Iris’s experiences playing country roadhouses, big city clubs, the streets, and blues jams from Vancouver to Toronto, Seattle To Nashville, from California to the Carolinas. "Mercy" is a celebration of the convergent influence, of the many people met, the music heard, and the personal challenges of being on the road, tired and hungry, for months on end. With "Mercy," Stone Iris emblazons its brand between the ever-blurring lines of roots and rock.

Infectiously edgy and brutally honest, our music is steeped in emotion and grit. Stone Iris brings new meaning to the word classic.
