WRITING ON THE WALL

THE NEW SINGLE & VIDEO

OUT NOW

Legendary USA southern rock n’ rollers Preacher Stone return with their gritty and swinging new single ‘Writing On The Wall’ on all good digital platforms coinciding with their Independence Day July 4. The ever affable frontman Ronnie Riddle wryly smiles on the story behind the song “We were on the road, talking about life and the term ghosted came up. I had the line ‘I said I love you too, no sooner than you heard the word a change came over you’ and we built the song around that. You know, sometimes everything was great until it wasn’t and you just don’t know why or will ever know when someone is in your life so much and then overnight they disappear.” The accompanying video shows the band at their dynamic best amongst a background of a car junkyard where some hopes and dreams are laid to rest.

Kicking boots out of North Carolina USA, the band’s high-octane, 200 proof, rock-n-roll guitar-driven songs about the common man with heart-wrenching smoky bar frequenting tales and the swagger of their live performances have earned them a legion of faithful fans known as “The Congregation”. Having endeavoured through adversity in the past, alongside Ronnie the brotherhood of the band is steeped in musical heritage with Ben Robinson (guitar), Darrell Whitt (guitar) Jim Bolt (bass), and Wyatt (drums). Previously their song ‘Not Today’ was featured on two seasons of the hit Fox TV series Sons of Anarchy and lengthy tours include across the United States, UK and Europe sharing stages with legendary household names such as Lynyrd Skynyrd, ZZ Top, Deep Purple and more to rapturous acclaim from fans and critics alike.

The most recent album ‘V’ was released in 2024 garnering stellar reviews across the board including Maximum Volume Music confirming “Authentic to their very core. 8.5/10”, Metal Talk stating it’s “An album that demands attention”, Emerging Rock Bands imploring listeners to “Enjoy a proper rock and roll party. 9/10.” and Powerplay Magazine proclaimed that “It’s edgy, it’s raw, it’s high emotion. 9/10.”

That year also saw the band thrilling fans new and old with an emphatic roaring ovation after their main stage performance at Maid of Stone Festival and 2026 will bring a warmly welcomed return to UK shores playing at Planet Rock Winter’s End in Trecco Bay Wales with tickets on sale now. Whilst Preacher Stone are rooted in southern rock history and authenticity they assure that they’re never a band to rest on laurels. “We play and write for our friends and fans first and foremost…and we’ll be going again with the next album, we promise it won’t be another 8 years of waiting!”
