At a critical time in NJ punk history (late 80's-mid 90's), STICKS & STONES stirred the youth with their aggressive lead guitar and folk-based rhythms, a straight-forward beat and numerous overlapping vocal melodies. They were truly ahead of their time in terms of musicianship and sounds, but they were also truly doomed.

Members later went on to form such notable acts as THE WORLD/INFERNO FRIENDSHIP SOCIETY, JOHNNY X AND THE CONSPIRACY, and ZERO ZERO.
