\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/p>\n

Currently tearing up the UK in support of their new album \u2018True View\u2019<\/i>, Orange County\u2019s Stick To Your Guns<\/b> have become the heroes of the melodic hardcore circuit for their uncompromising and ever-evolving approach to hardcore, and dedication to it since 2003. This is the story of how they came to be the institution they are today.<\/i><\/p>\n

The Early Days<\/h2>\n

Growing up in Orange County, California, Jesse Barnett quickly found himself inspired by hardcore. Attending Ignite and Death By Stereo shows as a teenager, Jesse learnt the values of self-expression through assertive energetic music, and knew it was the path for him. This would sow the seeds for Stick to Your Guns<\/b>.<\/p>\n

Around the same time, Jesse regularly attended Saddleback Church, where he played guitar and sang every Sunday for the church\u2019s worship band. It was during this time playing softer songs of praise that he befriended Casey Lagos, who played drums in the band. In 2003, bonding over a shared love of hardcore, the pair decided to form a group of their own with Jesse on vocals and Casey on drums. Enlisting local guitarists Justin Rutherford and Curtis Pleshe, and Noah Calvin on bass, the first incarnation of STYG<\/b> was born.<\/p>\n

Quickly gaining a local reputation for their live shows that took place everywhere from venues to friends\u2019 garages, the band released their debut EP \u2018Compassion Without Compromise’<\/i> in 2004. Built upon the rapid pace, brutality and pushing a positive message of unity and tolerance, the EP caught the attention of This City is Burning Records<\/b>, who specialised in hardcore and deathcore groups including Carnifex, and Liferuiner.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

In August 2005, STYG<\/b> released their full-length album \u2018For What It\u2019s Worth\u2019<\/i>. A number of tracks from \u2018Compassion Without Compromise\u2019<\/i> including \u2018Badge a Brand\u2019<\/i> and \u2018There\u2019s No \u2018I\u2019 in Team\u2019<\/i> were re-recorded for the album, but seventh song \u2018This is More\u2019<\/i> quickly became the album\u2019s standout track for it\u2019s catchy gang vocal calls and gargantuan breakdown spurred by Jesse\u2019s guttural cry of \u2018Move!\u2019<\/i> It quickly found itself being shared across MySpace music boards and soundtracking skating videos being uploaded by teens to a new video sharing site called YouTube.<\/p>\n

Live performances of the song also began racking up views on the website, as grainy cameraphone footage captured hordes of kids jumping onstage to perform with them at Anaheim\u2019s iconic Chain Reaction venue. Soon, their reputation was becoming known to more people outside of Orange County and after witnessing a STYG<\/b> performance at Anaheim\u2019s House of Blues, Ash Avildsen, CEO of Sumerian Records<\/b> signed the band to his label where they would re-release \u2018For What It\u2019s Worth\u2019<\/i> to a bigger audience in 2007.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

In 2008, with a renewed and expanding interest, STYG<\/b> signed with Century Media Records<\/b> for the release of their second full-length \u2018Comes From the Heart\u2019<\/i>. Numerous lineup changes left Barnett and Lagos as the sole members again, so they wrote and recorded the album together playing a variety of instruments, while iconic engineer Zeuss (Terror, Hatebreed) handled production. \u2018Comes From the Heart\u2019<\/i> stayed true to hardcore roots of \u2018For What It\u2019s Worth\u2019<\/i>, but it\u2019s production and improved vocal performance from Barnett made it a significant step up from it\u2019s predecessor. <\/p>\n

During this period the touring lineup felt interchangeable with Reid Haymond, Ryan Nelson and Jesse\u2019s brother Alex Barnett acting as guitarists for different shows and Daryl McFadden on bass. However, the lineup remained stable enough for the band to tour across the US on Warped Tour, and the then-annual Thrash and Burn tour, alongside headliners Darkest Hour, a then-breaking Parkway Drive and many others. Two months later, they embarked on a European tour with Walls of Jericho and Evergreen Terrace, where they would get to know future guitarists Chris Rawson and Josh James.<\/p>\n

In December, at a show in Iowa supporting Every Time I Die and The Bronx, Casey Lagos confirmed his departure among numerous rumours circulating his place in the band. In a quick statement, he said \u201cI’m not going to be playing in Stick To Your Guns<\/b> anymore, but do wish them the BEST, and will always love the guys no matter what.“<\/i><\/p>\n

The night Casey announced his departure, Jesse approached George Schmitz, who was selling merchandise at the show and asked if he could play drums. After a brief conversation about different bands Schmitz had played in and demos he had recorded, Jesse asked \u201cDo you want to come on tour with our band? Things aren\u2019t working out with our drummer.\u201d<\/i> Two days later, Schmitz learned all their songs and became a full time member.<\/p>\n

\u2018The Hope Division\u2019<\/h2>\n

In 2009, Walls of Jericho\u2019s Chris Rawson joined Stick To Your Guns<\/b> as a full-time guitarist, while his old band went on hiatus. With the addition of Rawson and Andrew Rose on bass, STYG<\/b> finally developed a stable lineup and became a tighter unit. With this lineup, they returned to Sumerian Records<\/b>, who would release their third full-length \u2018The Hope Division\u2019<\/i>.<\/p>\n

\u2018The Hope Division\u2019<\/i> was released in June 2010 and introduced listeners to the Stick To Your Guns<\/b> sound that we recognise and love today. Written largely by Barnett and Rawson, the record\u2019s was a callout to \u201ca division of people who still give a fuck about problems that are still very prevalent in not only the world, but right here.\u201d<\/i><\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Undoubtedly, the highlight of the record was third track \u2018Amber.\u2019<\/i> In an interview with Bare Bones Music Network, Jesse explained that \u2018Amber\u2019<\/i> was written about a family friend who committed suicide at a young age after living with depression. The song\u2019s signature message \u2018I just wish she knew she didn\u2019t have to be alone\u2019<\/i> resonated with hundreds of fans going through similar personal issues. \u2018Amber\u2019<\/i> quickly spread among the American hardcore scene and beyond, and became a new fan favourite alongside \u2018This is More\u2019<\/i>.<\/p>\n

As their musical style developed, the lasting impression of STYG\u2019s<\/b> live shows started to make a bigger impact with hardcore fans and musicians alike throughout America. \u201cI saw Stick To Your Guns<\/b> play Baltimore in 2011 with Terror and Trapped Under Ice\u201d<\/i>, Lauren Kashen, frontwoman of Sharptooth reflects. \u201cI heard Jesse talking between their set and explaining what their songs were about. That\u2019s something that when I started going to punk shows in high school, bands would do. They\u2019d tell you what their songs were about, and I hadn\u2019t heard that in a really long time.<\/i><\/p>\n

\u201cThe fact that it was so important for him to take time out of their set to say \u2018this is what we\u2019re all about and I need you to understand that,\u2019, that was really huge for me.<\/i><\/p>\n

\u201cIt really took you from thinking \u2018oh I\u2019m going to see a band to thinking \u2018this is like a communion of people, you\u2019re not just there to beat the crap out of your friends in the pit. This is about something bigger, and it can be bigger.\u201d<\/i><\/p>\n

\u2018Diamond\u2019<\/i> and \u2018Disobedient\u2019<\/i><\/h2>\n

On the November 20th 2011, Sumerian Records<\/b> published a video for \u2018Bringing You Down (A New World Overthrow)\u2019<\/i>, which featured guest vocals from First Blood frontman Karl Schwartz. The song itself was released in connection to the Occupy Wall Street protests that had shaken New York two months just before. \u201cI understand that there are a lot of younger people out there who look at this and say to themselves, "I don’t see how this is affecting me?”<\/i>, an accompanying message from the band read. \u201cThe fact of the matter is, it is affecting you. Our mothers and fathers are being ripped from their homes. They are having their jobs taken away from them. This is a time to stand for what is right and to show that integrity and a mutual respect for each other will reign supreme over all of this bullshit that these fuck heads have fed to us and our families for so long.\u201d<\/i><\/p>\n<\/p>\n

With a new reputation as the band at the heart of the American hardcore zeitgeist, and with this bold statement of intent unleashed, Stick To Your Guns<\/b> went to record their fourth full-length record \u2018Diamond\u2019<\/i>, an album that would turn them from one of the best modern hardcore bands to the most important. Before the album\u2019s release, Evergreen Terrace\u2019s Josh James replaced Reid Haymond on guitar. In an interview with Of Core\u2019s, James stated that the day he left Evergreen Terrace due to \u201cinternal problems\u201d<\/i>, he also received a phone call from STYG<\/b> asking if he wanted to play guitar. Without hesitation, he said, \u201csure.\u201d<\/i><\/p>\n

Upon it\u2019s release, \u2018Diamond\u2019<\/i> debuted on the Billboard Charts, achieving more commercial success than the band had ever experienced. It appeared at the top of the Heatseekers albums charts, #11 on the Hard Rock chart and #30 on the Rock Chart. At the time of release lead single \u2018We Still Believe\u2019<\/i> was constantly airing Active Rock radio stations throughout the US.<\/p>\n

2013 was another year of constant touring for STYG<\/b> on a vast range of different bills, opening up for skate punk icons Pennywise on their 25th anniversary tour in February, before taking the then-rising talents Stray From the Path and Hundredth to decimate clubs on a Canadian Tour during October. However, it was their stint on that summer\u2019s Warped Tour where they really picked up new fans and got large crowds moshing stage diving and crowd surfing to their music, whether they\u2019d ever heard a note of their back catalogue or not. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n

With a decade of experience behind them and the biggest audiences of their career supporting them, STYG<\/b> released \u2018Disobedient\u2019<\/i> in February 2015. Working with hit producer John Feldmann, (Blink-182, The Used) \u2018Disobedient\u2019<\/i> continued the streamlined songwriting of \u2018Diamond\u2019<\/i> with tracks like \u2018Nobody\u2019<\/i> and the irresistibly catchy \u2018The Crown.\u2019<\/i> While the album may have pushed the pop side of their songwriting further than previous records, there was still enough muscle in tracks like \u2018What Choice Did You Give Us\u2019<\/i> and \u2018Revolutionary Mental Attitude\u2019<\/i> to stop them losing track of the aggression that got them there in the first place. Plus, guest appearances from H2O\u2019s Toby Morse, Terror\u2019s Scott Vogel and Walter Delgado of Rotting Out paid tribute to the number of peers that paved the way for them. <\/p>\n

\u2018Better Ash Than Dust\u2019 and beyond\u2026<\/h2>\n

After a year and a half of touring \u2018Disobedient\u2019<\/i>, the band released the five track EP \u2018Better Ash Than Dust\u2019<\/i> in September 2016 via Pure Noise Records.<\/b>. While holding on to the balance of melody and aggression, a rawer production style felt more reminiscent of the sound on \u2018Diamond\u2019<\/i> the the polished moments of \u2018Disobedient\u2019<\/i> as evidenced by lead single \u2018Universal Language\u2019<\/i> which featured Counterparts\u2019 Brendan Murphy. Fans in the UK were given a chance to get to know the EP before the band returned to the shores as the opening band on Architects\u2019 tour.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Fourteen years since Jesse decided to start a small time band at his local church, and Stick To Your Guns<\/b> have become an integral part of modern hardcore\u2019s foundation. In a society where modern political discourse is turning different factions of people against each other, their latest album \u2018True View\u2019<\/i> is a challenge for listeners to look inwards towards their personal guilt and flaws as a means to change their own world and understand others. In fourteen years, touring the world, and using their music as a social commentary of the injustices and turmoil they see in society, a matured group of people who have experienced every high and low of being in a hardcore band have given the most powerful message of all. If you want to change the world, you have to start with yourself. <\/p>\n

In many ways, Stick To Your Guns\u2019<\/b> message has been clear since day one: \u201cRest assure, that with a heart that\u2019s pure, we\u2019ll be victorious and not their their hate get the best of us.\u201d<\/i> Move!<\/p>\n

\"\"The Essential Album: \u2018Diamond\u2019<\/h2>\n

\u2018Diamond\u2019<\/i> is one of Stick To Your Guns\u2019<\/b> biggests successes, both commercially and artistically. It introduced us to to the lineup we know and love today, and continues from the sonic pummeling and immense melody of \u2018The Hope Division\u2019<\/i>, only to sharpen the craft they developed to create an iconic set of songs. Singles \u2018We Still Believe\u2019<\/i> and \u2018Against Them All\u2019<\/i> are now essential parts of a STYG<\/b> live show, and have likely become gateways into hardcore for kids unfamiliar with the genre, inspired by their message preservation for one\u2019s self and values.<\/p>\n

The rest of \u2018Diamond\u2019<\/i> is a hotbed of socio-political discourse, from \u2018Beyond the Sun\u2019s\u2019<\/i> heart-wrenching narrative of a domestic-abuse victim who favours death over her living situation, to \u2018Life in a Box\u2019s\u2019<\/i> tirade against America\u2019s prevailing homophobic attitudes. The beatdown masterpiece \u2018Empty Heads\u2019<\/i> even gives STYG<\/b> a chance to protest against bigger bands whose lyrics serve no real world value. (\u201cYou say fuck the world, we say fuck you.\u201d<\/i>) At a time when Asking Alexandria and Emmure were playing to their biggest audiences in America, this message had a profound reference point.<\/p>\n

\u2018Diamond\u2019<\/i> sees Stick To Your Guns<\/b> find the perfect balance of merging commercially accessible punk rock structure with the visceral carnage of underground hardcore in a way that flows naturally and doesn\u2019t compromise one style for the other. They found their true potential here and ran with it.<\/p>\n

\"\"For Die Hard Fans: \u2018For What It\u2019s Worth\u2019<\/h2>\n

For fans like myself whose entry point to STYG<\/b> came from later material, hearing their 2005 debut album comes as an unexpected shock, which shows how far they\u2019ve come. Released on the the deathcore specialist label This City is Burning Records<\/b>, \u2018For What It\u2019s Worth\u2019<\/i> is a much denser and bludgeoning album, though it still upholds the messages of personal strength and tolerance in it\u2019s lyrics STYG<\/b> are known for today. Most striking is the difference in Jesse\u2019s vocal technique, with little to no singing, and deeper growling that resembles the acts they shared their label with. It also contains die-hard fan favourite \u2018This is More\u2019<\/i>, with it\u2019s signature breakdown preceded by Jesse\u2019s now iconic \u2018MOVE!\u2019<\/i><\/p>\n

\"\"One to Avoid: \u2018Comes From the Heart\u2019<\/h2>\n

In short, \u2018Comes From the Heart\u2019<\/i> is not a bad record, but it captures STYG<\/b> at a cross-roads in their career between being a brilliant live band and a brilliant all round band, and just isn\u2019t as iconic as any of their other albums. This is the sound of Stick To Your Guns<\/b> in between the all-out-war that is \u2018For What it\u2019s Worth\u2019<\/i> and the improved melody craft that would define \u2018The Hope Division\u2019<\/i>. However, as the title suggests, this record does have a lot of heart and that same meaning felt in each STYG<\/b> album is here too, but it does feel undeveloped in places, and choruses in tracks like \u2018Enough is Enough\u2019<\/i> feel flat due to Jesse\u2019s then underdeveloped singing technique. Plus, the chances of hearing material from it live now are extremely slim, which is a shame because the breakdowns in \u2018Impact\u2019<\/i> would decimate any venue. So if you really want to skip any STYG<\/b> album (though you shouldn\u2019t), this would be the one.<\/p>\n

Side Projects:<\/h2>\n

If one was to dissect the members of Stick To Your Guns<\/b> into the bands and projects that came before them, one could link guitarist Josh James to his work in Evergreen Terrace, one of the most underrated names in melodic hardcore, whose 2007 album \u2018Wolfbiker\u2019<\/i> should be listened to by any STYG<\/b> fan as well. James is also the brains behind straight edge hardcore project Casey Jones featuring members of Evergreen Terrace and Anchors Away, who released three albums, before James disbanded the project to focus full-time on STYG<\/b>.<\/p>\n

Those looking to hear the more sensitive side of Jesse\u2019s vocals beyond interludes like \u2018Erida\u2019<\/i> and \u2018It Starts With Me\u2019<\/i> need look no further than Trade Wind, his mellow indie side project formed with Stray From the Path\u2019s Tom Williams. Their 2016 debut album \u2018You Make Everything Disappear\u2019<\/i> is a collection of delicately written rock songs that sound like if The Fray made more post-rock inspired music. With Jesse also playing guitar, it showcases the versatility of the man as a performer and even gives him a chance to use the musician skills he learnt playing in his church band to full effect.<\/p>\n

Essential Viewing:<\/h2>\n

While Stick To Your Guns<\/b> have never released an official documentary or live performance, their three part \u2018Warped Tour Survival\u2019<\/i> diary created for US publication Alternative Press while they toured on 2013\u2019s Vans Warped Tour perfectly captures both the challenges and hardships that come with touring in a band, while showing the monumental impact of STYG\u2019s<\/b> live shows at a time that they were really making a name for themselves.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
