As shown in its balance between guitar driven hooks and seemingly chaotic rhythmic dissonance, Stemage offers a collection of catchy, high-energy space rock with metal, pop, and prog coatings. Unsatisfied with generic rock predictability, Strati (meaning "layers") thrives on complex backbones, piled on melodies, dodging time changes, cleverly peculiar lyrics, and ensuring that the listener never gets bored. The debut album, Strati, is out now on Silent
Uproar Records.
"You’ll swear ‘Library’ involves J. Robbins on guitar, vocals, or twiddling knobs somewhere ... Damn impressive … and a benchmark in any genre." - Illinois Entertainer
"Enigmatic and invigoratingly divergent styles" - Smother
"Grant Henry obviously has a fertile and creative mind for music that few possess ... Each track seems to have its' own personality and complexity, from soft passages to very complex heaviness" - Space City Rock
“Stemage is hard rock mixed with early 90's crunch, math rock, and some prog-rock. The result is original, and Stemage's lyrics are hilarious.” - Pulse Weekly
“I have no idea who this dude is, or why he recorded an album full of crappy nü-metal riffs with his shitty high school talent show vocals on top of wannabe emo verses... Plus, what the f**k's up with the Good Charlotte cover art? - PunkNews.org

Damn, you got to record on an album with bands like Paramore on it? Awesome. It's just that they're pretty big, and being on the same trubute album with them is pretty impressive. Kudos.
The stemage version of Undone IS on the cd. it is located in the cd extra folder. Pop the cd in your computer click the start menu, then right click the cd drive,click explore, there you can get the bonus tracks. Undone,Pennies, and stuck on you
Hey! I just got my copy of "The Nurse Who Loved Me: A Tribute To Failure", great job covering "Leo"! It sounds awesome. Now I gotta wait to get the digital download to hear "Undone"... xD
