About THE DOVE STONES

Rock like a Stone

Biography

The Dove Stones ( TDS) was started in the late end of 2006 when a group of musicians who used to play in separate bands got together and formed the band The Dove Stones.

The name is taken from a stone on Saddleworth moor where the band lives.( Nr Manchester)

Band members

Duddz Lead Singer, Guitarist and Song Writer.

Gregg Holdich Lead Guitarist backing vocal

Darren Cyprus Bass and backing vocals

Kitch Drums

TDS initially started as a cover band playing covers from bands like, The Who, The Rolling Stones, Beatles, The Red Hot Chili Peppers, Snow Patrol, Greenday, Kaiser Chiefs and other great bands.

Inspired by the bands they covered they started to write their own songs. “The songs are written on acoustic guitar”, explains Duddz ( Song Writer) “and then taken to the band to build the music up around the lyrics and basic chord structure. Writing is my passion it’s what I love to do. The words/ lyrics are so important to me. I try to write songs with some sort of message or meaning. Songs that make you reflect or think. Make you happy or sad it doesn’t matter which as long as it makes you feel something. One of the best feelings in the world is when you complete a new song and hear it for the first time complete with the band. Truly amazing feeling”.

TDS live to play live. We love to entertain.

Studio work is not as much fun and can be somewhat of a drag as everything happens way too slow for us, we just want to get in there and bang the tunes out but it doesn’t work like that in a studio. Then again you have to put it in to get it out!

The Future

To write and perform to the best of our ability and meet great friends along the way.

Great hook in Stardust and I love how the guitar lifts the chorus. Great new tracks Dove Stones. I'm psyched about your listening party too! Make sure you get all those Dove Stone fans from across the pond to check out your new material first on OurStage!

Hey, Guys! Ask and you shall recieve......

I like both of your new songs. I LOVE the theme, lyrics and melody of all three of your new songs. I think you did an effective job with the "Stardust" hook. On "What Will Be," I thought the melody could use a bit more variety in the middle to end of the song. In my humble opinion (you did ask) I think "One World" is your strongest recording of the three. In addition to a meaningful theme, carefully chosen lyrics, and a memorable melody (mainly the electric guitar on this one), I liked as well the supporting vocals, the lead vocals were strong, confident and on pitch, and the song had some nice changes to break up any possible melodic monotony. Overall, I think you guys write some great stuff. Keep 'em coming. Much love and success to you from a fellow artist, Emily Greenfield

We value the opinions of our fellow artists as well, so please feel free to stop by and critique our songs, too.
