PRESS: "[I]t has been a long time since a local group has shown up on the scene with as complete a package as The Stance. From their disheveled appearance to their raucous live shows, everything about them seems to effortlessly land on a single train of thought...There's an energy at play in the songs that is the "It" so often described but seldom achieved. " - The Coast
“Combines the gritty, bluesy sound of The Animals with the brazen cockiness of The Hives...To an outsider, The Stance's hubristic mannerisms might border on sheer arrogance. However, the smart-alecks possess the humorous zeal, dynamic and pomposity necessary to be a true beat-pop band.” – Chartattack
“Infectiously danceable.” – The Chronicle-Herald
“A band heavily inspired by Motown and ’60s punk rock, whose forte include songs perfect for a getaway mix after a sunny day of bank-robbing.” – Dalhousie Gazette
BLURB: Have you heard? You should be listening to the raucous beat sounds of THE STANCE.
A high-octane wedding of rhythm & blues and ’60s garage punk, THE STANCE’s loose ’n’ loud live show will inspire a sweaty recklessness in any audience member with a pulse.
Listen to THE STANCE's latest recordings and see what all the fuss is about!
