Formed in 2007, Stonehurst has been producing heavy power-rock tracks infused with Sabbath-esque, psychedelic elements and a green-fueled intensity. Bursting onto the Christchurch music scene, the band quickly made a significant impact across New Zealand. Their music has achieved national FM radio play and they have played alongside amazing acts such as Black Label Society, Corrosion Of Conformity, Seether, Halestorm, Sasquatch, Anvil, Orange Goblin, plus many more, and performed at all 9 annual Groovefests, 2x Twisted Frequency Festivals and Electric Avenue Music Festival, along with many more over the last 18 years.

Stonehurst continually pushes the boundaries of their craft, earning a reputation as one of New Zealand’s most exciting heavy rock acts. Their fan base is steadily growing, and they are rapidly becoming a legendary name in New Zealand's classic rock scene. They currently have three bodies of work, Stonehurst S/T (2011), Strange Urge (2017) and Wild Visions (2024).
