For the uninitiated, Cleveland, Ohio's Stalemate have been a band for almost two decades beginning as Tooth Fuzz in 2001 and adopting their current moniker back in 2010. To say these guys have been putting in work is an understatement, they have taken great time in refining their sound with each album coming out three to four years after the last. In 2015 they self released Permanent Things that to me harks back just as much to a band like The Get Up Kids as it would to Weezer, alternative rock but still with a punk edge. I love this band because I feel like even on a recording you can hear the energy in both their vocals and their music and even on slower songs you can hear them drawing things out in just the right way (I think this is harder to pull off and it sound earnest). Grab a copy of their last LP/CD in the Head2wall Webstore now, to get caught up, and stay tuned for more details on the new record in the coming weeks!
