In early 2006, STEREOSIDE’S founding members, Chris York (Drums), Ben Foster (Guitar-Vocals) and David Oliver (Bass) added Jeff Shields (Vocals). Instead of pursuing a career in Country music, Jeff rejected many major label offers to become the front man for STEREOSIDE. With Jeff’s unique and powerful vocals, a tight rhythm section, and hard driving guitars, STEREOSIDE was bound to be a rock powerhouse.
In March 2007, STEREOSIDE signed with fast-growing, indie label Bieler Bros. Records and without hesitation, entered the Bieler Bros. studio to record their debut album, “So Long”. “We made the record we wanted to make. We feel as though the record shines with our tribute to rock influences along with our own style, therefore, creating timeless rock songs.”-STEREOSIDE.
STEREOSIDE finished production on their album, “So Long”, and released it September 25th, 2007. The first single from the effort, “SINNER” impacted active and alternative rock on May 1st, 2007. The band received overwhelming feedback from program directors across the country who deemed the track “a huge breakout single”.
The second hard hitting single “SO LONG” impacted rock radio stations nationwide June 2008, further establishing STEREOSIDE into a force to be reckoned with.
As the singles were released, there was a great response of support for the band. STEREOSIDE was invited by rock stations across the country to play alongside Buckcherry, Sevendust, and fellow label-mates Nonpoint. Since, the band has shared stages with the likes of Smile Empty Soul, Socialburn, The Exies, 10 Years, Kittie, 12 Stones, Hinder, Papa Roach, Revelation Theory, Black Stone Cherry, Alterbridge, Saliva, Shinedown, POD, Filter, etc. As a result of their powerful stage presence, STEREOSIDE has created a frenzy of fans nationwide.
