Hero Stone Records

Hero Stone Records is an entertainment company specializing in music production, marketing strategy and artist representation. The company offers record label services for independent artists. Currently the home of Crown Jewel Defense. Only in its first year of existence, Crown Jewel Defense has already started turning heads internationally, fresh off their first tour, supporting pop punk quartet, All Time Low in Europe and the UK. The response from the group's dynamic live show has been positively overwhelming. California-based Crown Jewel Defense can best be described as a smorgasbord of sound, drawing inspiration from varied sources from Avenged Sevenfold and Slipknot to Miley Cyrus and Lady Gaga. Noticed as a force to be reckoned with by producer Elvis Baskette (Alter Bridge, Story of the Year, The Classic Crime, Escape the Fate), Crown Jewel Defense, the brainchild of songwriter, lead guitarist, front man Taylor Hood, was on its way to the studio merely weeks after the first listen. The album, due out this year, will be preceded by an EP, on label Hero Stone Records. Whether a heavy hitter or a pop enthusiast, there are zero excuses to NOT have a listen to this musical kaleidoscope, described by Kerrang! magazine as metallic lines of shredding guitar around a polished and hook-laden power-pop base.
