12 Stones are a hard rock/metal Christian (or at least CMI!) band which formed in Mandeville, Louisiana in the early 2000's. Only after a few months in which the four members, Paul McCoy (vocals and guitar), Eric Weaver (guitar), Greg Trammell (guitar), and Aaron Gainer (drums) jammed together, they were signed up with Wind-Up Records. In 2002, they released their debut self-titled CD along with the hit singles 'Broken' and 'The Way I Feel', while also releasing a live-performance video for the first song on the album, 'Crash' later in 2003 as well as release a full performance of most of the songs on '12 Stones' in a live special entitled 'Broken TV'. Also in late 2002/2003, Paul McCoy joined together with the gothic rock band Evanescence and provided back-up vocals for their successful debut single 'Bring Me to Life' to bring publicity to both bands. (This was actually intended by the record label and not the band 'Evanescence' themselves, since 12 Stones and Evanescence share the same record company) 12 Stones also recorded a song called 'Let Go' for the Daredevil soundtrack, making it lead singer Paul McCoy's second appearance on the soundtrack.

Set You Free Lyrics
12 Stones
As he raises his hand you being to understand
that no love is worth the hate that you feel.
Now you're running out of pain,
And all these feelings feel the same.
So you close your eyes and wish it all away.
And I lie awake and I try to say anything I know
Just to ease your pain
But you hide away where no one can see
That it's only you that can set you free
The time has come again
So you reach to go within
And find the strength that you have buried there
As you turn to walk away
You can still hear him say
"You'll never make it in this world alone"
And I lie awake and I try to say anything I know
Just to ease your pain
But you hide away where no one can see
That it's only you that can set you free
Yeah Set you free
And I lie awake and I try to say anything I know
Just to ease your pain
But you hide away where no one can see
That it's only you that can set you free(x2)
