The Blue Stones - Metro

Label: Thirty Tigers / New Weapon Released 3/28/2025 This is Metro—a dark, gritty ride through rebellion, duality, and self-discovery… and The Blue Stones’ boldest album yet. METRO – the band’s fourth full-length LP – takes that ethos even further. The album follows a protagonist navigating a dystopian subway, confronting a personified version of their darker side—a manifestation of their buried need for authenticity. “The subway is a metaphor for the conflict we all face,” says Tarek. “It’s about balancing societal expectations with your own self-serving desires.” The loudspeaker’s voice, eerie and detached, becomes the protagonist’s inner critic, a manifestation of societal pressure that feels alien yet inescapable. The Blue Stones’ sound—a melting pot of rock, blues, hip-hop, and pop—has always set them apart. They thrive on contrasts and a controlled sense of chaos, both on record and during their awe-inspiring live shows. “We’ve always wanted our music to empower people,” says Jus
