The band have independently released three extended plays (EPs), Prophecy (2020), The Place I Cannot Find (2022) and A Shadow of My Former Self (2025).
History 2016–2020: Early years Ironstone were formed in Bendigo, Victoria, in 2016 by Edward Warren on lead guitar and vocals and his brother Perry Warren on bass guitar. Initially knowns as Detention, they played cover versions of material by Van Halen, Audioslave, AC/DC and Metallica before introducing original tracks. The band relocated to Melbourne by 2018 and released material independently, with their debut singles, "Machine" and "Polarity" in early 2019. Their next single, "Bound", appeared in late 2019, Its music video was created and edited by Anne Warren (Edward and Perry's mother) who was also their first manager. Anne also co-wrote songs with Edward Warren.
Ironstone had used various lead vocalists, Kody Austin and Stacy Varner from 2016 and Victoria K. in 2018 to 2019. Edward was also lead vocalist for a short time before Dan Charlton joined in 2019. In 2020 the group followed with additional singles "Downpour" and "Hollow". These singles appeared on their debut six-track extended play, Prophecy, which was released in May 2020. During that year the band underwent further line-up changes, including Perry Warren being replaced by Oliver Hosking on bass guitar.
2021–2022: The Place I Cannot Find In October 2022 Ironstone released their second EP, The Place I Cannot Find. It also has six tracks, including three singles co-written by Anne and Edward Warren with Charlton, which had been issued in 2021, "Mr. Struggle", "Shiny Things" and "Brave the Black". Aidan Kalms departed the band prior to the EP's release while Charlton left shortly after.
2023–present: New singles to third EP In June 2023 Ironstone changed their line-up: Edward Warren transitioned from guitar to lead vocals, Whyte remained on drums, Perry Warren returned on lead guitar and Sam Angove joined on bass guitar. They issued three singles with this line-up, "Deadly Laser", "Red Hound" and "Death So Grim". In 2024, guitarist Remy Giuliani joined, completing the five-piece line-up.
On 5 November 2025, Ironstone announced their signing with management company Welkin Entertainment, before they released their third EP, A Shadow of My Former Self, on 7 November 2025.
