Anthem for the Underdog will be 12 Stones' third album. It will be released on
August 14, 2007. The first single will be "Lie to Me". The song World So Cold
was used in a tribute video found on YouTube for the victims of the Virginia
Tech massacre shooting. In a bulletin posted on the band's MySpace page, the
band said that they were surprised the song surfaced because it had not been
released. However, the band members said they were "touched and humbled" by the
video.

12 Stones were formed in the small New Orleans suburb of Mandeville, LA. The
group was mostly still in their teens when they formed the lineup of vocalist
Paul McCoy, bassist Kevin Dorr, guitarist Eric Weaver, and drummer Aaron Gainer.
After performing no more than 12 live performances, they took their demo to New
York City and performed at an industry showcase. The band ended up signing to
Wind Up Records to record their debut album with producer Jay Baumgardner. The
album saw a release in 2002, less than two years after the formation of the
group. More success came to the band in 2003, when McCoy duetted on "Bring Me to
Life" with Evanescence, which became a smash hit and was included on the
Daredevil soundtrack as well as Evanescence's debut album, Fallen. 12 Stones
released their second album, Potter's Field, which featured a heavier, more
guitar-driven sound than their debut. After taking a break from music to spend
time with their families, the band reconvened to make their third album.
Inspired by the effects of Hurricane Katrina on their hometown, 12 Stones
recorded Anthem for the Underdog in Memphis, TN, with Justin Rimer and Skidd
Mills during the better part of 2006, and the album was released in 2007.
