The Tennessee indie rock band Iliad Stone and the Monarchy is comprised of an eclectic group of serious musicians creating genre-bending music. Singer-songwriter Iliad Stone spearheads the group with gripping lyricism and a powerful voice as is evident on the new single, “End Times.”
Electric guitarist Prince Parker battles each song with guitar in hand until every tone and note are perfectly impactful. In Iliad‘s words, he makes the songs “actually sound like songs.”
The rhythm section is comprised of bass player and ‘the brains of the operation’ Adam Barnes, providing guidance for the other guys all the way.
Thompsons’ Station, with a population of nearly 7,000, has more than tripled in population since 2010.
