08-04-2024

(CGZ) Philadelphia rockers The Stone Eye have shared a lyric video for their new single "Charlie the Stingray". The song comes from their forthcoming The Cart Sessions EP, which will be hitting stores on August 9th.

'"Charlie the Stingray" was the first song we wrote as this current iteration of the band with our new members Jacob & Jonah, and it actually sat in limbo for a while before we made anything of it which is unusual for us. The main riff with the ascending blues pattern was composed about 2 months before anything else ever came of the song, as we were struggling to figure out where the song should go. In the end, after a few months of trying out different ideas we finally fell into the chorus that you hear on the recording, and then from there we slowly pieced everything together. It's pretty cool though, as I feel the bulk of the song has a groove to it which cannot be found anywhere else in our discography, and the chorus has this chill melancholy vibe which is a nice juxtaposition when compared to our typical bombastic choruses."' - Stephen Burdick The Stone Eye

This track is not just a song but a milestone in their journey, showcasing the new lineup with the talented Jacob and Jonah. The main riff, with its bluesy ascent, paves the way for The Stone Eye's sonic exploration. What truly sets "Charlie the Stingray" apart is its irresistible groove, a signature element that elevates it in their discography.
