As Boston’s music scene is growing, so are the bands that have been climbing their way up the media stream. Stay, a band from the city within, is just one of those bands working on making a name for themselves. The five-piece pop-rock band became an official band about two years ago. Since then, the band has released an EP titled Games With Girls and have played many shows across the U.S including the Vans Warped Tour. They’ve even played with such bands as; All Time Low, Hit The Lights, A Rocket To The Moon and The Cab.  Now, Stay is taking one-step further by releasing a music video for their song “Maddie Kthx” on December 12^th.

In the past couple of months, the band has been keeping busy. In November, Stay was selected as a finalist in Pac Sun’s Battle of the Bands. The Winner of the battle of the bands would get a chance to perform on the Pac Sun Tour with Saosin, Eye Alaska, P.O.S and Innerpartysytem on their city’s date. Unfortunately, they didn’t win but they fought a hard battle. This loss isn’t stopping the band in any way though, because they’re currently working on new record and Stay is also going recording a holiday song just in time for Christmas.

The biggest thing for Stay right now, is the release of their first ever music video for one of songs off Games With Girls “Maddie Kthx.” The band chose the song simply because they thought it was the most relatable song for their listeners. In our interview with Stay, they talked about shooting their video stating, “We were able to incorporate so much into a classic music video concept. We don’t want to spoil it though!” The band shot their video “Maddie Kthx” with Shane Nelson in Minneapolis, MN, you can see bits of their video in their video teaser that the band has on Myspace. On the other hand, if you can wait, everyone can watch their video on December 12th.

For being an unsigned band, Stay is definitely making their footprint in the local scene. This band has everything going for them and they’re a band worth listening to. In the end, I can see Stay doing big things in the future because they’re doing what they love the most, playing music. I also hope for the future that they make more enticing music videos for their fans.
