The Breakdown Ep. 6 | Stay Lost: Monster Truck Metal, Band History, and What's Next
from The Breakdown · host Bamacore
Birmingham metalcore band Stay Lost sits down for a full breakdown of everything: where the name came from, how the band actually came together, and why a YouTube comment calling their music "monster truck metal" ended up becoming something they're putting on a shirt.Brett, Patrick, and Chase talk through the evolution from their post-hardcore roots under the name Mend to the darker, new metal-influenced sound they're leaning into now. They get into the writing and recording process with producer Kevin Langley out of Athens, Alabama, how "Step Back" blew up overnight with 50,000 streams, and what made "Cheap Heat" a turning point for the band.The conversation also covers what it's like being the heaviest band on a pop punk bill and the softest band on a deathcore bill sometimes in the same month, their campaign to play Vans Warped Tour, and plans for new music and a regional run with their friends in 10 and Handsome.If you're into metalcore, heavy music, or just honest conversations about what it actually looks like to be a band grinding it out from central Alabama, this one's for you.Find Stay Lost on all streaming platforms and on social media at @staylostrocks.
