31 Oct: “Red Head” – Stone Deaf: A Raw, Relentless Anthem for the Rock Revivalist

Stone Deaf’s “Red Head” packs a punch from the first chord, channeling the rawness and relentless energy of a band that’s barely a year old but already sounds seasoned. From BBC radio’s “rollicking” praise to sold-out shows in their hometown of Swansea, Stone Deaf’s trajectory has been steep, and it’s easy to see why. “Red Head” isn’t merely a song; it’s a rallying cry for those who’ve endured the toxic push and pull of manipulation, wrapped in a thick coat of distortion, thumping bass, and unapologetic power.
