The entity known as Heart & Stone was originally formed by singer, songwriter and driving force, Tony Anton in the fall of 1989. During the next seven years, Heart & Stone performed relentlessly both as opening acts and Headliners to thousands of faithful fans. The energy and experience cultivated during this time was captured on the groups first CD entitled "Eternity". Eternity was well received by radio stations both in Canada and Europe. The video for the song "Ocean Blue" was also put into rotation by Much Music.

At the time of eternity's release there was varying interest from a number of major labels but it was concluded that the timing for this product was not right and although there was resounding positive response with regards to the material, a formal deal was not struck.

Two years later and with a new guitarist in the fold, Heart & Stone recorded the follow-up to Eternity, "Legacy of Stone", only to find themselves going through "déjà vu" all over again. The release of Legacy of Stone produced an almost carbon copy of the events that had unfolded with Eternity. Although in excess of 20,000 copies of the two CD's were sold as an independent, the inability & disappointment of being unable to "breakthrough" lead to be the demise of the original line up.

Undaunted and propelled by his strong convictions and Undying belief in his music, original member, singer and songwriter, Tony Anton has assembled a new line up of signature players and the millennium rendition of Heart & Stone has recorded a new CD entitled "Love for Rock & Roll". Although the title essentially sums up the CD, the songs from top to bottom reflect the passion embodied in the classic albums and true spirit of the legendary groups that have paved the path of rock & roll, with gold.



We want to share our music with the whole entire world and want to be on top of the mountain.

Reviews:
In the midst of today's fascination with alternative music, it's nice to see that not every independent band is jumping onto the bandwagon. Heart and Stone CD release, Eternity, turns away from strumming and instead focuses on the intricate picking that is characteristic of hard rock and heavy metal music. The album as a whole ponders the question of existence. The bands name describes their music better than I ever could. Heart and Stone cannot only belt out solid rock tunes but they also do a good job with the more delicate, acoustic songs. If you like your rock hard, you'll love this release. -Lucy Cerone EYETALIAN MAGAZINE-

Heart and Stone is the next band who will undoubtedly shake things up like never before. The band proves that they can shred with the very best. Featuring the strong vocals and song writing abilities of Tony Anton, this album registers as a musical triumph. From what I've been told, this band is already enjoying a hugh amount of radio success with this particular disc. I'm not the least bit surprised, after seeing these guys in action a few weeks back, I was left with my jaw hanging down to the floor. Heart and Stone is without a doubt a band that give new meaning to the term "kick some ass". -Mark St. John SCORCHER MAGAZINE-
