The incarnation of Stonslinger began in the early months of 2002. All 4 members ( Todd "Wolf" Williams - vocals/cowbells/harp, Mike "Stone" Fisher - guitars, Andy "Mongoose" Masalko - drums, Neal "Beard" Franklin - bass ) came together from seperate bands from the Northeast Ohio music scene, in which they had been friends and fellow musicians for the past decade. Deciding to finally join forces, they have quickly become one of the most entertaining and addictive hard rock bands around.

With influences rooted in many eras of rock and blues, Stoneslinger gives their music a modern twist while keeping the rock...ROCK.

Throw the stereotypical labels and genres out the window with this band. They also bring the show and entertainment back to the forefront in their performances. They can mesmerize with a new energy and keep you guessing with a truely infectious, captivating live show.

Stoneslinger have appeared with such acts as: Thin Lizzy, CKY, Mushroomhead, Sevendust, Megadeth, Coal Chamber, Crowbar, Abdullah, Speedealer, Raging Slab and many, many more. While they have performed mostly in the Midwest and Eastern regions, there are clearly no boundaries, geographically or musically for this band. Plain and simple...Stoneslinger is the future of "Real Rock".
