The Blue Stones

You sink into a worn subway seat, barely holding together—graffiti on the walls, flickering ads for bionic upgrades. A mechanical voice crackles through the speaker:
“The next stop is… your tiny, stupid little worthless life.”

That’s the setting of 'METRO', the latest album from Canadian rock duo The Blue Stones. Blending rock, blues, hip-hop and pop, they’ve grown from college bar gigs to international stages like The Troubadour (LA) and The Danforth Music Hall (Toronto).

'METRO' is their boldest release yet: a dark, groove-driven journey through rebellion, self-discovery and inner conflict. Gritty riffs, swinging drums, and sharp lyrics paint a picture of life under modern pressure.

With 300M+ streams and multiple radio hits to their name, 'METRO' cements The Blue Stones as a band that refuses to be boxed in.

Michael Shuman, best known from Queens of the Stone Age, now also shines with his solo project GLU. With GLU, Shuman effortlessly moves across genres, from lush soundscapes to hip-hop, and even pop finds its place. His EP MY DEMONS explores themes of grief, trauma, and addiction, delivering emotional and immersive productions.

In 2025, GLU released the single BOOGIE MAN, an infectious, genre-bending track about losing yourself in the moment. The song has already been performed live on tours with Phantogram and Miles Kane and was featured on the soundtrack of MLB The Show 25, alongside artists like Kendrick Lamar and De La Soul. With GLU, Shuman proves he’s unafraid to explore new musical directions and follow his own creative rules.
