| Sexstone is a band hailing from Dawson Springs, a very small town in Western Kentucky. Their music is intense and versatile, taking influence from a variety of styles and generations. From the 60's to the 90's, they are influenced by them all. Best described as heavy rock with a vintage, almost psychadelic edge! Each song sets a certain mood, and may run through a flurry of moods. Their philosophy is, " If you can't Feel the music, then it's not worth listening to." From laid back to heavy, they let the music speak for itself. Love 'em or hate 'em, just check them out and decide for yourself.
