STONEFLOWER – Destination Anywhere (2014)

It took 11 years to Norwegians STONEFLOWER to release their second album, but finally arrived in 2014, titled “Destination Anywhere“, a CD you need to discover if missed first time around. Formed from the ashes of poppy band Diezel which released a CD in the mid-Nineties, StoneFlower delivered a really fine debut back in 2003 highly praised by Melodic Rock magazines and fans.
The StoneFlower core consists of singer Frode Henriksen, guitarist and producer Tom Sennerud and bassist Svenn Huneide, all experienced musicians, who played on 13 albums altogether and in numerous bands / sessions for acts such as TNT, Street Legal or Stage Dolls.
Their second album “Destination Anywhere” collects different sonic colors, but all in all it is dominated by the Melodic Rock of the ’80s with hints of Stage Dolls, Toto, Nelson, Southern Sons, On The Rise and Michael Learns To Rock (for the poppier part), with great vocal parts, almost perfect arrangements and a natural inclination to write catchy songs.00
