Stick To Your Guns

Shifting between vein-popping purges of angst and quiet, reflective moments of calm, California hardcore outfit Stick To Your Guns are an explosive band who hit the stage with storms of thrashing punk thunder. Led by front man Jesse Barnett, they formed in Orange County in 2003 and raged and crashed around the US underground rock scene following the release of early albums For What It's Worth and Comes From Heart. They became one of the first acts signed to Ash Avildsen's Sumerian Records label in 2008 and released single "Bringing You Down" in support of the Occupy Wall Street campaign, before third album The Hope Division developed a more melodic and diverse sound and was seen as a major breakthrough for the band. Always loud, righteous and fierce, they topped the Heatseekers chart and won the Independent Music Awards Metal Album of the Year in 2013 for Diamond and single "We Still Believe" became one of the band's big anthems as they crossed the US and were leading stars of that year's Warped Tour. Their fifth album Disobedient arrived in 2015 and featured contributions from Scott Vogel from Terror, Toby Morse from H20 and Walter Delgado from Rotting Out. 2025 saw the release of their sixth album Keep Planting Flowers on SharpTone Records.
