About
Stereoside is a hard-hitting post-grunge and modern hard rock band originating from Ocala, Florida. The group is comprised of Jeff Shields (lead vocals), David Oliver (bass), Chris York (drums), and Ben Foster (guitar, vocals). Emerging in the late '90s from the remnants of 60 Cycle Hum, Stereoside became known for their energetic and emotionally charged sound, which resonated with fans of hard alternative rock. Their collaboration with Beiler Bros. Records marked the beginning of their ascent in the rock scene, with their debut album So Long setting the stage for their dynamic musical journey.
How to Sound Like Stereoside
Stereoside's sound is characterized by its powerful, gritty guitar riffs and robust rhythmic foundation. Their music often blends the aggressive edge of hard rock with the melodic undertones of post-grunge, creating a sound that is both raw and polished. To capture their vibe, musicians might focus on using high-gain tube amps to achieve a thick, distorted tone, combined with dynamic overdrive and distortion pedals for added punch. The bass lines are driving and assertive, complementing the vigorous drumming that propels their tracks forward. Stereoside’s sound thrives on energy and intensity, making use of tight, well-crafted arrangements and a layered vocal approach that adds depth and emotion to their music.
