In the unpredictable world of rock and roll, its hard to stay in the game, let alone on top of your game. Yet, in spite of the turbulent nature of their medium, Stavesacre has remained a driving force in the unpredictable world of rock. Nine years into their history fans, critics and peers alike point to Stavesacre as a steady source of musical inspiration, passion and integrity.
Stavesacre formed in 1995 from the burgeoning Southern California music scene. The group formed with a shared vision for creating a band that would rise above the landscape du jour to communicate a greater concept of the perfect rock album. Over the next four years the band released three albums, Friction (1996), Absolutes (1997) and Speakeasy (1999) (Tooth & Nail Records). During this short 3-album run, the band also garnered a solid domestic fan-base spanning from coast-to-coast, as well as abroad in rock-aware, soundboard countries in Europe and Oceania. After these records came Collective (2001), a look back at their T&N releases, then the self-titled Stavesacre (2002), the band's fourth full length album on Nitro Records.
Ever the working band, Stavesacre toured consistently from the start, spending months at a time in venues in North America and Europe. Equally comfortable in small clubs and large arenas, as the headliner or support, their shows are an opportunity for their fans to experience their sonic vision first hand. They do not disappoint.
The band has long been considered by Southern California music press and thousands of ardent fans to be the best band you've never heard of, due to the group's fervent underground following. Excellent songwriting, musicianship and a full throttle live show have established them as a rock tour de force.
Thank you so much for your music. I have been listening since 1996 and so far I have "Friction" and "Absolutes". They are both very powerful albums! I love them!Thank you for your transparency and raw passion.
The music you all have made, has helped me tremendously through several peaks and valleys. Truly your Christ centered melodic rock has changed lives across the globe. Dont stop now.
hey guys stoked to hear the new EP. We used to play with you guys a decent amount back in the day with my former band "incomplete" good times. Check out my new band at myspace. com/thedistancebetweenmusic hope all is well Brian
Who then , can separate us from the love of Christ? can trouble do it,or hardship or persecution or gunger or proverty or danger or dead?
for i am certain that nothing can separate us frome his love ; neither death nor life, neither angels nor other heavenly rulers or powers ,neither the present nor the future, neither the world above nor the world below there is nothing in all creation that will ever be able to separate us from the love of God which is our through Christ Jesus our Lord

I just found my copy of the s/t release on Nitro..Blind Hope is such a beautiful song. I hope you truly know how many people out in this crazy world really connect with the music.
plenty of amor from Texas from your ol' friend Rojas..
I just got out of boot camp at the ripe old age of 32, and the first thing I listened to when I got out? "It's Beautiful (once you're out here)" And you know what? It really was beautiful. Thanks for that.
